Katharine Burr Blodgett was the first woman to receive a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Cambridge and went on to invent non-reflective, or "invisible," glass while working at General Electric. This invention has been fundamental in advancing optical technologies, including camera lenses, eyeglasses, and computer screens. Blodgett's pioneering work in chemistry and physics paved the way for women in these fields, setting a precedent for future generations.
