Listen "Mary Anderson: Inventor of the Windshield Wiper"
Episode Synopsis
Some of the people we will talk about on Alabama Shorts Stories are inventors. You may be surprised at all the items that were created right here in Alabama. The windshield wiper for instance. This simple idea was a game-changer and today we probably take the windshield wiper for granted. As the saying goes, "you don't miss it until they're gone." In this final episode of season 1 of Alabama Short Stories, we learn about Mary Anderson and how a cold and rainy trip to New York City gave her the inspiration to create the windshield wiper.
