Black History Month Fact


Celebrating unsung hero, inventor Mary Kenner, who secured five patents in her lifetime, the most of any Black woman at the time...

Kenner's inventions include:
Sanitary belt: A predecessor to the maxi pad that held menstrual towels in place and prevented blood from leaking onto clothing
Shower wall and bathtub mounted back washer: Helped users reach difficult to access areas
Toilet paper holder: Ensured the loose end of the paper was within reach
Attachment for a walker or wheelchair: Includes a hard-surfaced tray and a soft pocket for carrying items
