Mary Beatrice Davidson Kenner (1912-2006)

Ladies we have to say thank you to Mary Beatrice Davidson Kenner. She invented the Sanitary belt, and the sanitary belt with moisture-proof napkin pocket. This gave women a better way of handling their periods. It was patented 30 years after she invented it, because the company who was initially interested in her creation rejected it when they learned that Kenner was African American.
