Henry, Beulah Louise, 1887-1973, Patents, Twentieth century, Women inventors
Abstract

American socialite. Beulah Louise Henry (BYEW-luh LEW-eez HEHN-ree) was a descendant of the Revolutionary War hero Patrick Henry. Her grandfather was William Woods Holden, the governor of North Carolina in the 1860’s. She was born in Raleigh, North Carolina, to artistic parents. Her mother was an artist, her father was an art expert, and her brother was a songwriter. As a child, she sketched out her ideas for inventions and made models from household scraps such as tape, soap, hairpins, buttons, and rocks. She lived in Memphis, Tennessee, for part of her youth, and attended college in North Carolina, at Elizabeth College and Queens College in Charlotte. She apparently received a liberal arts education, as she later described herself as having had no technical training.
