  3. Invention: Disposable Diaper • Marion was mocked because she helped revolutionize the infant care industry by making a prototype of the disposable diaper. • At first her diaper did not work because it leaked through right when you would change it. • Marion then designed a waterproof diaper cover so the diaper wouldn’t leak anymore and it worked. • Soon after that, the diaper became an instant success in 1951. • Donovan called her diaper the "Boater," because it helped babies "stay afloat." • She also invented a 30-garment compact hanger, a dish soap that drained the sink, and the “Zippity-Do” which was an elastic cord that was connected to the shoulder to the zipper on the back of the dress. • Marion tried to make the disposable paper diaper but she designed a composition of sturdy, absorbent paper that did the job well done. • Surprisingly, she did not have instant success with this idea

  4. Inventor: Marion Donovan • Marion Donovan was born in Fort Wayne, Indiana in 1917. • Her mother died when she was seven, so Marion spent most of her free time in their factory. • So then she went to Rosemont College in the suburbs of Philadelphia • Marion took a job as an assistant Beauty editor at VogueMagazine in New York • She soon later married James Donovan, a leather importer, and started a family • Marion and her new family moved to Westport, Connecticut. • Sadly in 2009 Marion Donovan passed away
