#BlackHistoryMonth we honor Mary Beatrice Davidson, the brilliant woman who developed the sanitary napkin.
Mary's invention was initially rejected because of racial discrimination but 30 years later (in 1956) it was accepted.
She received five patents for her household inventions -- one being the bathroom tissue holder, which she co-invented with her sister.
Thank you Mary for looking out for the ladies.
