The Ice Cream Machine Was Her Idea. So Why Did She Die Broke?
Manage episode 481276578 series 3663744
Agnes Bertha Marshall was a culinary genius.
In 1885, she invented a hand-cranked ice cream machine that could freeze a pint in under five minutes — long before electricity hit the kitchen.
She predicted the ice cream cone. Wrote best-selling cookbooks. Built a food empire.
So why don’t you know her name?
In this episode of Side Eye Society, we tell the story of a woman who revolutionized dessert… and got nothing for it.
No credit. No fortune. No legacy.
Just a quiet fade into history — while others cashed in on her brilliance.
This one’s for the woman behind your favorite summer treat.
✨ Now you know.
