In the US, Mary Dixon Kies received a patent for weaving straw in 1806 with silk and thread. Her innovation helped provide a much-needed boost to the domestic bonnet-making industry and purportedly garnered the praise of First Lady Dolley Madison herself.
In spite of this success, Kies herself did not profit well from her invention and died penniless in 1837. To add insult to injury, the patent document itself had been destroyed a year earlier in the Great Patent Fire of 1836.
Mary Kies became the first woman to be issued a US patent in 1809. She was granted a patent for the rights to a technique for weaving straw with silk and thread to make bonnets.
