Now it’s in bathrooms everywhere.

Accessibility drives innovation.

This year, for disability history month, we honour the value of disabled lives by celebrating historical innovations like the first typewriter, invented for a blind woman. Accessibility is not only transformative but essential for innovation.

A vintage purple typewriter sits on a wooden surface. Below it, a caption reads: “Did you know? The first known typewriter (ancestor to the modern keyboard) was invented in 1808 by Pellegrino Turri to help his blind friend, Countess Carolina Fantoni, write legibly and independently.” At the bottom is the Purple Tuesday logo and tagline: “Accessibility Everyday, Everywhere for Everyone.”
