Unlike most of us, she invented a contraption to free herself from this tedious task forever: a self-cleaning house! Gabe's wacky, wonderful home included almost 70 new patented inventions, from a soap-spraying sprinkler in the ceiling to a kitchen cabinet that washed, dried, and stored dishes all in one place. Though Gabe's invention didn't catch on, her determination and clever thinking remind us that we don't have to accept the world as it is; we can improve it using our minds and our own two hands." -- Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Gabe, Frances $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Inventors $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Women inventors $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 700 1 $a Romberg, Susan. 700 1 $a Rader, Meghann. 941 $a 1 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722062119.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=45802A06EAB411EB95DB475F3FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
