Add a CommentThe real paper bag princess! The inspiring and empowering tale of Margaret Knight, an inventor in the mid 1800's when no one believed a woman could be an inventor! A true story of innovation, betrayal and success, Margaret fights for her rights and wins a court case to owning the patent to the machine that makes flat bottom paper bags becoming the owner of the Eastern Paper Bag Company.
