There is some evidence that the telescope was invented by an 8 year old girl in Holland. Not exactly a woman. Another girl about the same age is said to be recently responsible for coloured car polish. Windscreen wipers, correcting fluid and hundreds of other important but less well known inventions were by women.
Patent offices list many women as co-inventors of tens of thousands of inventions, one example is the polymerase chain reaction.
It's likely that women invented sewing. That is obviously very important. There are thousands of important inventions whose inventors lived far too long ago to have been remembered. Inventions like the chimney, glass windows, the horsecollar and the stirrup. Quite a few of the inventors may have been women.

Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace, was the first computer programmer. She became interested in Babbage's computer in 1843 and came to translate and annotate an article written by the Italian mathematician and engineer Luigi Federico Menabrea, "Notions sur la machine analytique de Charles Babbage" (1842; "Elements of Charles Babbage's Analytical Machine"). Her detailed and elaborate annotations (especially her description of how the proposed "Analytical Engine" could be programmed to compute Bernoulli numbers) were excellent; "the Analytical Engine," she said, "weaves algebraic patterns, just as the Jacquard-loom weaves flowers and leaves."

Marie Curie - Nobel Prize (twice; Chemistry and Physics)
I believe she discovered the foundation of radioactive materials as we know them.
The Irony is that she also died because of the exposure to radioactive materials as we know them.

BTW there has been to this date a serious problem in science where a systematic usurpation of women's works has occurred. Check on DNA and a bunch more.
Call it like it is.
