- Ellen_Eglin abstract "Ellen Eglin lived in Washington, D.C. in the 1880s. She invented a special type of clothes-wringer, later selling it for $18 to a white person. The buyer went on to reap considerable financial awards. In the April 1890 issue of Woman Inventor, Eglin was quoted as saying,You know I am black and if it was known that a Negro woman patented the invention, white ladies would not buy the wringer. I was afraid to be known because of my color in having it introduced into the market, that is the only reason.After selling her clothes-wringer she remained hopeful to patent a second device. Despite wanting to exhibit the new model at the Women's International Industrial Inventors Congress, she never went on to patent it.She went on to work as a clerk in a census office.".
