For John Wells' question about these three women:
Mary Olliden Weaver--Inventor of the super slurper
other than finding out what you already know, there's nada!
Ellen Eglui--Inventor of the clothes wringer

Si Ling Chi--Legendary Empress of China, inventor of silk
http://www.jjexporters.com/divers.htm
http://www.bugbios.com/ced1/seric.html
http://www.powereng.com/Public/what/main_manufacturing.html
and this wasn't all!
Seems you have to have been L-O-N-G gone to have much information on the
web. Even the 19th century doesn't seem to be long enough (Eglui)
