Margaret Knight , Geraldine Ferraro July 12th


On this day in 1859, William Goodale is credited with the invention of paper bag manufacturing machine-and he did have a patent, BUT, Margaret Knight invented the paper bag manufacturing machine which is still in use today. The reason for pointing this fact out, the paper bag many assume it is Goodale's when in fact it is Margaret Knight's invention.

On this day in 1984, Geraldine Ferraro became the first woman majority-party Vice Presidential candidate.
