| Summary | "The Invention of the Sewing Machine" by Grace Rogers Cooper is a historical account written in the late 20th century. The work explores the development and significance of the sewing machine as one of the most transformative inventions of 19th-century America. The book delves into the contributions of various inventors and the evolution of sewing technology, tracing the intricacies of machine design and its impact on society. The opening of the publication sets the stage by explaining that the sewing machine was the result of collective efforts over many years rather than the breakthrough of a single inventor. It provides a brief overview of early mechanical attempts at sewing, highlighting notable figures such as Thomas Saint and Elias Howe, emphasizing how previous innovations laid the groundwork for the eventual creation of a practical sewing machine. This section illustrates the long and complex history of the sewing machine, indicating its significance as a revolutionary consumer appliance and hinting at the socio-economic repercussions it had during its rise to popularity in the 19th century.
