A Signal Success is an autobiography written by Martha J. Coston, detailing her work and travels as an inventor and entrepreneur. Coston is best known for her development of the Coston Flare, a signaling device used by the United States Navy and other maritime organizations. In her book, Coston describes her childhood and early years, her marriage to a naval officer, and her struggles to support her family after her husband's death. She also details the process of inventing and patenting the Coston Flare, as well as her efforts to market and sell the product. Throughout the book, Coston emphasizes the challenges she faced as a woman in a male-dominated field, and the importance of perseverance and determination in achieving success. A Signal Success provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of a pioneering woman inventor and entrepreneur, and offers valuable insights into the history of maritime signaling technology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
