I'd also appreciate if we could please stop putting aristocrats on pedestals like the same rules apply to them as the rest of us. Ada Lovelace was the wife of an earl and the daughter of a baron, and celebrating her as some sort of triumph of feminism in mathematics is about as tasteful as celebrating Margaret Thatcher as a triumph of feminism in UK politics.
