Josh Wardle, a software engineer from Brooklyn, New York, originally created the <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/5-jigsaw-puzzles-to-keep-you-busy-all-winter-long\/\">game<\/a> for his partner, Palak Shah, who enjoys these challenging games. \u201cIt\u2019s really sweet,\u201d she told the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/01\/03\/technology\/wordle-word-game-creator.html\">New York Times<\/a><\/em>. \u201cThis is definitely how Josh shows his love.\u201d <\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\" type=\"1\">\n<li><strong>Overalls <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>In 1859, Abigail Carter of Clinton, North Carolina, designed and stitched a pair of sturdy trousers with over-the-shoulder straps for her husband, Homer W.

McCoy\u2019s wife, Mary, wanted an easier way to iron clothes, so he improved the ironing board to make the foldable version we use today, according to <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/almanac-the-ironing-board\/\">CBS News<\/a><\/em>.  <\/p>\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/inspiring-stories\/10-things-that-wouldnt-exist-without-african-american-inventors\/\">READ MORE: 10 Things That Wouldn\u2019t Exist Without African-American Inventors<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\" type=\"1\">\n<li><strong>Baking Soda <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>English food manufacturer and chemist, Alfred Bird (1811 \u2013 1878) changed the face of <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/life-advice\/coping-with-grief\/her-biscuits-gave-this-widow-a-new-purpose-in-life\/\">baking<\/a> forever when he created custard powder and the earliest form of baking soda.

One day, after Don struggled to button his shirt before a game, Horton decided there needed to be a better clothing option for people with disabilities. So, she made it herself.
