Victorians be long-winded, yo.
I feel like Ada Lovelace is having something of a moment and you Internet-savvy bitches definitely already know who she is, so just two little details today.
Did everyone else know that she was Lord Byron’s daughter? I somehow missed that tidbit. I LOVE that her mom steered her towards mathematics to keep her from ending up like her crazy dick of a father. (Although that fabulous hat/headpiece/hair assemblage is CLEARLY the batshit Byron blood coming out. Ooh, alliterative. I’m practically a poet and must go die in the Greek army now.)
{Sidenote: who thinks Byron cared less about Greek independence and more about those snazzy skirted, tasseled, pompom laden, behatted uniforms? This girl.}
Also, Ms. Lovelace was Victorian, and therefore long-winded as FUCK. I had a terrible time picking a quote because omg so many words please stop wording I do not have space for all those words.
