About this book

The book tells the story of Mary Anderson, an American inventor who, after observing drivers struggling to see through rain and snow, created the first windshield wiper in the early 1900s. It recounts her childhood, her interest in solving everyday problems, and the process she followed to secure a patent for her Windshield Cleaning Device. Set in the United States during the early automobile era, the narrative shows how Anderson's invention improved driver safety.
