I'm a secondary school teacher at a girls' school. Last week I assigned homework to research and design a poster on a famous woman inventor.

I explained to the students that there were many good woman inventors and explained that while a man invented the car, it was a woman who invented the windshield wiper. And also that a man invented the gun and it was a woman who invented the bullet-proof vest.

A smart response came from one of the students:

"So what you are saying, sir, is that a man invented something, and a woman found a way to make it safer!"
