5 Halloween-Themed Creations from Brilliant Women

In the spirit of kicking off our Fear edition of SheBOOM, we rounded up 5 creations from brilliant women essential to the spirit of the Halloween season!

Objects:

  1. Flat bottomed paper bag– Ok, so maybe not the most exciting invention, but still brilliant! Founded by Margaret E. Knight, the flat bottomed paper bag has become a staple for trick-or-treating and making those cute lanterns that light pathways on Halloween night!
  2. The Book of Halloween- Ruth Edna Kelly was the first to write a book about the history of Halloween in 1919. The book included traditions like spooky mirror games and superstitions.

Food:

  1. Fudge – Emelyn Battersby Hartridge introduced the treat to the American college scene at Vassar college in 1892 and soon after, it became a huge fad with female students churning the treat out by the ton.
  2. Sugarfina- The mastermind behind this unique candy company is Rosie O’Neill, who wanted to create a sophisticated and niche candy line suited for the taste of adults.

Machinery:

  1. Corn Mill- Invented by Sybilla Master in 1715, we have her to thank for delicious Halloween-themed food like cornbread!
