Ada Lovelace’s story really reminds you how important it is that educators are passionate about what they’re doing, cultivating young minds and their interests rather than trying to stifle them and fit them in a box. We all need a Ms Stamp or Mary Somerville in our lives! Although Ada was immensely privileged as a white woman of high class, she went against all social conventions to pursue her passion for mathematics. Her story is also a great reminder for young girls that, if you do want a partner, that someone should encourage you to chase your passions, even if they don’t necessarily share them exactly.
