A black inventor in the 19th century was not something that was very common, especially if it was a black inventor that was a woman. When a black woman can overcome ignorant people and racial prejudice, then you know this is women to be remembered. Sarah Boone was the first women to invent the ironing board in April 26, 1892.Before Sarah's inventions, people simply used a table or were creative by lying a plank of wood across two chairs or small tables. Sarah Boone's ironing board was designed to be effective in ironing the sleeves and bodies of ladies' garments.Very little is known about her life and her childhood. Sarah Boone was born on May 18 1867 in Summit, Pike County, Mississippi, and died on the 14th of September in 1919. Sarah Boone invented this ironing board because she wanted to have an easier way to iron clothing without having so much fuss. in todays society the ironing board looks different. However, it was inspired by sarah boone invention and we use it all the time in the house and mostly everyone has it in a home thanks to Sarah Boone. In my opinion Sarah Boorne was a brave women because in her time women were supose to be powerless and in that didnt stop her from being a person to invent at least ironing board.
