She designed and built the world’s first successfully solar-heated mode rn residence and identified a promising new chemical that\, for the first time\, could store solar heat like a battery. And yet\, along the way\, sh e was undercut and thwarted by her boss and colleagues — all men — at MIT.\n\nDespite these obstacles\, Telkes persevered and\, upon her death i n 1995\, held more than 20 patents. She is now recognized as a visionary p ioneer in the field of sustainable energy. An unexpected and largely forgo tten heroine\, Telkes was remarkable in her vision and tenacity — a scie ntist and a woman in every way ahead of her time.
