In the United States, people use and reuse 10 billion of them every year. Who among us has gotten through life, likely as a child, without opening up a brown paper bag filled with a sandwich, juice box, and a piece of fruit? Or, later in life, enjoyed an alcoholic beverage in a public place with the illegal item safely ensconced inside a bag?

But paper bags have been around for so long, and in so many forms, that few have ever stopped to wonder where they came from in the first place. Even fewer know that paper bags were involved in not one but two feminist crusades. Paper bags have been with us for generations. Since the earliest years of subsidized lunches, people have disagreed on what items make up a proper lunch, whether lunches should be eaten at home, and, lately, why Mom is still so often the one getting lunch together for the kids.

In the first half of the 20th century, the idea that good parents gave their kids hot meals was so persistent that it took experts to convince Americans a cold lunch could be just as wholesome. In cities, the question of whether kids should be allowed to bring lunch to school rather than eating in the cafeteria was often without controversy.

As early as the s, schools in poorer rural areas whose students were often underfed were happy to establish lunch programs in the classroom. But in some more affluent communities, it was expected that Mom would stay home and be there with lunch waiting when the kids came home for a midday break. Twenty mothers, infuriated by the at-home lunch policy, sent their kids to school with brown-bag lunches. I am over 21 years. Sign Up. Send this article to your friends.

But long before she turned her mind to the personal transportation of small goods, Knight was visiting the cotton mill where her brothers worked as overseers.

One day she saw a shuttle break free from its spool of thread and stab a young boy, a fairly common occurrence, apparently. Knight, having had some experience cobbling together kites and sleds, decided to end the shuttle's danger and devised a device the details of which are lost to history to prevent such accidents.

She was 12 and knew nothing, yet, of patents and lawsuits. The device was adopted by cotton mills throughout the country, but Knight did not profit from her work. Presumably stupefied by the slowness of the manual process required to assemble flat-bottomed bags , Knight began toying with the idea of a machine that would make them. Within a month she had a sketch of one, and within half a year she had a working wooden model that would cut, fold, and glue the bags together with the turn of a crank.

Though "rickety" as described by a witness later in the courts, it pumped out more than 1, bags. Knight took the model to a local shop and, working closely with the machinist, put together an iron prototype.

She then moved to Boston to refine the invention with two machinists.
