The Woman Who Was Done Doing the Dishes

The Woman Who Was Done Doing the Dishes

Did you know a woman invented the dishwasher?🍽️ Meet Josephine Cochrane—an 1880s powerhouse 💪 who changed kitchens forever. Her bold invention and unstoppable energy still inspire modern women to shape life on their own terms. 

When Josephine Cochrane’s fine china kept getting chipped by careless hands in the 1880s, she didn’t complain—she invented the world’s first practical dishwasher. 💡 Talk about turning frustration into innovation!

At a time when women weren’t even expected to own property, let alone patents, Josephine rolled up her sleeves (figuratively) and built something that would change domestic life forever. She launched her invention at the 1893 World’s Fair, and hotels and restaurants quickly saw the genius behind it.

Her story is more than just about clean plates—it’s about determination, brilliance, and refusing to accept that “women’s work” couldn’t lead to world-changing ideas. 💥

Here at Squeem, we’re inspired by women like Josephine—women who refuse to settle, who find smarter ways to do things, and who reshape their world on their own terms.
