Mary Kies was the first woman to receive a U.S. patent, which she was awarded in 1809 for her invention of a technique for weaving straw with silk and thread. This innovation allowed for the production of fashionable straw hats, contributing to the hat-making industry. Her patent marked a significant milestone for women inventors in the United States.
