Space, Dignity, and Innovation: Sarah E. Goode's Revolutionary Folding Cabinet Bed
Meet Sarah E. Goode, a pioneering African-American inventor who transformed urban living with a brilliantly simple idea. As a furniture store owner and mother in post-Civil War Chicago, Goode witnessed firsthand the housing crisis plaguing families crammed into tiny tenement apartments. Her solution? An ingenious folding cabinet bed that served as elegant furniture by day and comfortable sleeping space by night. In 1885, she became one of the first African-American women to receive a U.S. patent, breaking barriers in a system not designed for her. Discover how Goode's keen observation of everyday struggles led to an invention that gave families dignity, space, and hope—and laid the foundation for modern space-saving furniture design that continues to shape how we live today.
