Josephine Cochrane, a socialite with no formal education in science, invented the first commercially successful dishwashing machine, securing a patent in 1886 and presenting it at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair where she won an award for its design and durability. The company she established, Cochran's Crescent Washing Machine Company, eventually became KitchenAid.
