1849 – 1944<\/strong><\/p>\n A pioneer in the automotive industry, Bertha was the first person \u2013 not just woman \u2013 to go on a recorded cross-country roadtrip on the 5th August in 1888. Over her 65 mile journey, she rigorously tested the patent Motorwagen \u2013 invented by her husband Carl Benz \u2013 and during her journey even invented brake pads! At a time when scientists thought that women\u2019s brains were unable to absorb and process as much information as men\u2019s brains, Benz was determined to prove them wrong.
