She is so inspiring. She should of definitely been given a lot more credit when it came to all the inventions she created, especially because they are the things that we use the most in our day to day lives. Traffic robots, Wifi, Bluetooth…

I think this is a stretch, not only because Hedy Lamarr and her co-inventor George Antheil have a prior claim. See A Touch of Strange.

One thing is beyond dispute: Hedy Lamarr was proof of the truth that women can be formidable in both intellect and physical beauty. (As if more proof were needed.)
