Summary

"Meet Josephine Garis Cochrane: entrepreneur, innovator, and businesswoman extraordinaire. But her story starts with something small and ordinary: a sink full of cracked cups, dinged dishes, and chipped chowder bowls. What do you do about a chore that's icky, destructive, and time-consuming? Josephine tackles this task the modern way: she makes a machine to wash dishes better than any person can! Not afraid to get her hands dirty in order to get the dishes clean, Josephine tinkers and tests. She perseveres through fizzles and flops, until she has a government patent for her invention, and there are whirring, whizzing, bubbling dishwashers across America." --Book jacket
