Was she the windshield wiper inventor?

I would have never guessed that in a million years. Speaking of windshield wipers, ever see the movie "Flash of Genius?." It's the true story of Robert Kearns, who patented the intermittent windshield wiper, and his decades-long battle with Ford. Ford essentially stole his idea and incorported it into their cars without paying Kearns or giving him and credit.
