Margaret Knight was amazing, but she only had 27 patents according to Wikipedia. Where did you find she had 87?

According to Wikipedia she had 27 patents. Still an amazing amount, but not the claimed 87.

This mis about applying to jobs, so people don't waste their time applying to jobs that pay less than they will accept. If no companies are posting salary info with their job postings, then people have to apply and go through interviews before they find out what it pays, thus wasting their time massively.

Because companies will have to be honest about what they intend to pay? How is that perverted beyond comprehension?

Interesting Smithsonian just says she was granted 20+ patents.
Looks like nobody knows how many she actually had.
