Marion Donovan's Trailblazing Diapers

Willie Mae Thornton's Original "Hound Dog"

Sarah How's Pioneering Ponzi Scheme

Desi Lydic and Dulcé Sloan recount the history of women getting the shaft. And not in the good way. 

First, they highlight Marion Donovan, the criminally unsung hero who invented the first disposable diapers. Next, they recount the tale of Willie Mae "Big Mama" Thornton, the African-American singer whose rendition of "Hound Dog" was soon eclipsed by Elvis Presley's version. Finally, they salute Sarah Howe, a 19th-century con artist who shattered the glass ceiling of financial crime.
