改变世界14大发明：马桶 胸罩也入围

　　Bra (Early 1900s)

　　Mary Phelps Jacob was looking for an alternative to the ubiquitous and sometimes unsightly corset. She ended up creating a bra using a handkerchief and ribbon. Jacob was awarded a patent in 1914 and would later sell her business to Warner Brothers Corset Company for $1,500.

　　胸罩（20世纪初）

　　玛丽•菲尔普斯•雅各布在寻找一种能替代无处不在、有时很不雅观的紧身胸衣的东西。最后她用手帕和缎带制造出了一个胸罩。雅各布因这一发明在1914年被授予专利，之后她以1500美元的价格将这一专利权出售给华纳兄弟紧身胸衣公司。
