The political correctness is insane.

Another example, one of the greatest mathematicians ever, male or female, was Ada Lovelace. Who apparently the MSM can worship whenever mentioned, however they appear to NOT be allowed to point out something equally important about her, that her father was George Gordon Byron, the 6th Baron Byron....that’s THE Lord Byron, “mad, bad and dangerous to know”

Hmmm, I LOVE Lord Byron and his friends Shelley and Co. Byron’s magnum opus “ Don Juan”, a true epic spanning 17 cantos is simply on of Britains greatest lyrical works ever, it’s on par with the genius of the Ancient Greeks.

Ada Lovelace, the only legitimate child of the great Lord Byron:

ADA, THE ENCHANTRESS OF NUMBERS (narrated and edited by Betty A. Toole, Strawberry Press, 1992) is a real thorough investigation of Countess Lovelace's life and writings.

Those were crazy times for English women who were part of the intellectual growth of her era.
