Ada Lovelace was the world's first computer programmer. She noted that, "a computer can do anything that can be noted logically". Lovelace was pushed into learning mathematics because her mother did not want her to become a romantic poet like her father was. Little did Ada know she would soon find her love for numbers and codes. Women like her essentially revolutionized the modern world to what it is today. We often forget that women were involved with science and mathematics, but they helped change the world too.
As I talked about in my post, it is crucial that young women are educated on these women that came before us. If I was, my thoughts for career options would have been extremely different.
