Abstract

This chapter features Bette Nesmith Graham, the inventor of the Liquid Paper used in correcting errors in typewriting. She was born on March 23, 1924 in Dallas, Texas. Better came from an ordinary background. She was not a genius and never went to college. Her first marriage ended in divorce. She raised her son as a single mother and worked at the same time. In inventing the liquid paper, Bette took her idea from artists who just paint over the errors in their lettering. After several years, Better decided to mass produce the liquid paper she invented and thereafter established a company. By the time Bette died in 1980, she had established the Bette Claire McMurray Foundation and the Gihon Foundation, which have dedicated more than$ 2 million to the task of changing attitudes about women through research and education.
