Marion Donovan
American inventor (1917–1998)
Marion O'Brien Donovan (October 15, 1917 – November 4, 1998) was an American inventor and entrepreneur. Recognized as one of the era's most prominent female inventors,[1] she secured a total of 20 patents for her creations.
In 1946, she created a reusable, impermeable diaper cover. Ultimately, this led to the invention of the disposable paper diaper, which was eventually commercialized by Victor Mills, the creator of Pampers.[2] Donovan also innovated various solutions around the home and was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2015.[2][3][4]
Early life and education
Donovan was born on October 15, 1917 in South Bend, Indiana[5] to Anne and Miles O'Brien.[6] Following the death of her mother in 1925, Donovan was parented by her father.
With his identical twin brother John, Miles O'Brien ran the South Bend Lathe Words manufacturing plant.[
