This book tells the gripping story of her most famous invention and the landmark legal battle that followed when a man tried to steal her genius, claiming a machine so complex could not have been created by a woman. The Invisible Genius is a powerful account of perseverance, intellectual property, and a quiet revolutionary who built a better world, one invention at a time. Approx.160 pages, 28000 word count
