Kevlar is awesome. Thus, the women who invented Kevlar, is also awesome! Who'd a thunk that a stuff that lab technicians usually threw out, later was developed into Kevlar!! Nice right?!! So here is a brief look at why Kevlar is awesome:

So many uses! Isn't that great?! So Kwolek, during her time at DuPont, was able to isolate the substance, and although according to some sources she wasn't responsible for developing a lot of the uses of Kevlar, she is credited with making the discovery that the substance is extremely resilient. And any women who helps develop something that keeps America's troops safe on the front lines, deserves and award in my book. Thank you Stephanie Kwolek.
