Benerito’s parents believed in the power of education. “My father always told me, ‘An education is something that can never be taken from you,’” she explained.
What an inspiring story! This lady contributed to making ironing mostly obsolete. I hated spending so much time pressing clothing. I never knew who invented this most remarkable cotton material. Now I do thanks to you, Tara. She used her talents and education well and it benefited lots of lives.
I am very much enjoying your articles. Just wanted to express my gratitude that this retired history teacher has a chance every day to learn something new!
“I don’t like it to be said that I invented wash-wear,” she said, “because there were any number of people working on it, and there are various processes by which you give cotton those properties. No one person discovered it or was responsible for it. But I contributed to new processes of doing it.”
Ms. Benerito understood the process of innovation and generously gives credit where credit is due. She has helped to free many from hours of labor at ye old ironing board and move on to flourish in other areas of living.
Another unknown, to me, person you have told us about, Tara. It's great to hear of her accomplishments and her humbleness - I hope many more can learn of her talent through you.
Ruth Benerito was an amazing person and she surely overcame discrimination during her lifetime of work. I wasn't aware of her accomplishments nor her young struggles at College. Tara, you are my favorite blogger and I learn new things every day. Thank you.
I love stories that bring forth someone who understands their place in a successful event without taking other's credit. Ruth was one of those, a woman who was both gracious and humble. Thanks for this story, Tara!
"one thread" LOL, pun intended I'm sure, Tara! I think she read those engineers at Tulane wrong. They were actually miffed because there were ONLY two women in a class full of men. I also have to chuckle at the fact the rage in men's casual shirts right now is crinkle cotton. They are very comfortable and cool shirts in the summer.
With 3 granddaughters, I really enjoyed this one. I like to share story's of strong successful women with them!

We all owe her for the ease of use for many products she invented. She made our life simpler.
