In recognition of Women’s History Month, we’re celebrating the brilliant minds and bold innovations of women inventors whose work continues to shape the world today. One great example is Tabitha Babbitt, a 19th-century Shaker woman who invented the circular saw after observing inefficient methods used by workers in sawmills. Her invention helped transform the woodworking industry and is still a staple in construction today! #WomenInventors #WomensHistoryMonth #TabithaBabbitt #InventLikeAWoman #InventHer #Herstory
