I am writing on one of my friend’s word, he was saying”If women are smart why we don’t know any poet ,scientist or hero?” It is because of your mind. Nobody want to see us. They are afraid of us.
I want to make a serie about women scientist and also women who inspire to all people. I will be in a women in a tech one day and I already heard a lot of story about how hard it is. It is not a problem for me. I am here to encourage firstly all women then for all of us.
My first hero will be Ada Lovelace. Probably most of you know, but listen her story from me .
Her father was a scandalous poet. He died in the Greek War of Independence. Her mother always tried to make her interested in mathematics and logic. It is all about her personal life you can find these informations on Wikipedia.
I want to talk about her interests and the century which is she lived. She has a passion about flying. She read a lot of books about birds and mechanism of flying .
She began to think about how she would design a steam-powered flying machine. She realised that the wings would need to be in proportion to the size of the body, where the steam engine would be located to provide power. Ada was just 12.
She has amazing math skills and she was into music. She was romantic because of his father and the other hand she was smart and scientific because of her mother .
…It is amazingly inspirational, imagine about her years, even girls education was a controversial topic.
She met Charles Babbage when she was 17 and Charles was working on an idea about programming Ada was fascinated with those ideas . She wrote articles about engines and numbers. She thought if you can manipulate numbers you can also manipulate with symbols.
She is fascinating and now she is here for all of us. Yes, she was smart but she worked hard too. She had a lot of illness but she never gave up. Life was really hard for her as we understood, her father died and she never lost her interest to her father even when she died she wanted buried near her father .
In this story actually we can see two powerful and intelligent women. Ada was brave but there is a mother who is trying to keep away her from father’s insanity and she made something amazing. She helped a real genius.
There is nothing to afraid and I don’t have big words to tell inspirational lives to you but I hope you can feel.
I really impressed when I heard about Ada’s passion for flying because only gift that I want was flying. You know that is a classic question “If you had one supernatural gift what would it be?” and it was my answer flying but there is a difference. She has a big imagination and also she was working hard she was reading then I realised if you have passion for something just go, sit and work. After all never lose your imagination it will help you all the time and never believe who says imagination for children. No, it’s not! It is for everybody.
The more I study, the more insatiable do I feel my genius for it to be.
It is a real gift, actually it is humanity reality. You need that for survive, it’s not that much scary. And also if you are reading this as a women in tech, please remember you are not alone.World need us.
I know engineering or technology looks little bit soulless, because of that people think it is not for women but it is time to show them it is for everybody.
One day I will write about my artsy pink machines too:)
Thank you Ada…
Sincerly
