“Ada Lovelace lived a tempestuous life”
Me: Especially when she met the Doctor and helped save the world from the Master.
Wich Episode on Doctor Who ( i hope) do you mean? Sounds great .
AAAH, YES (omg, sorry for screaming but that was exactly what I was thinking😹) I loved the episode so muuch
OMG when I saw the title of this video I was like... "Lady! Apparating LADY! (every time...)"
@@lisasmile4025 it's the latest ep and it's called "Spyfall part 2" but it's a two parter
@@joodle_doodle Thanks, now I have something to look forward to.
Whenever a date of mine does something problematic, I sincerely hope that I hear Jessica's voice in my head saying "Red flag!" repeatedly until I remedy the situation.
And the hero that we all know and love who made the first computer-like machine, shortening WW2 by at least 2 years saving thousands of lives, was gay
Alan Turing 🙌
And massively shortened WW2 !
And sadly, but not surprisingly, killed himself after being punished for being gay.
I guess fuck the discoveries that literally saved lives (WW2...) They had to focus in the part were he loved men...
You should definitely do an episode on Turing. And Steven Hawking.
@@stephaniehight2771 And Rear Admiral Grace Hopper!
"her christian duty to support him and improve his behavior" - well if that doesn't sound like a great basis for a marriage
sadly...there are still women that feel obligated to do this...
TehMomo I know. I still just can’t even ... 🤢🤮
I would LOVE an explainer on the British Peerage system!
Firefly 24601 yes, please
Me too, yes please!
TLDR Pay alot to the PM
Yes please!
Ditto!
I highly recommend "The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage: The (Mostly) True Story of the First Computer" a comic book that begins as the tale of Ada Lovelace's life and work, before spinning off into a pocket universe where Babbage actually finished the Analytical Engine and the two of them used it to solve crime and get into mischeif. Despite the latter half being fictional the tales are based on real events with very interesting footnotes linking it all together. Overall just a really fun way of learning more about Ada and the Difference Engine.
When photo of Alan Turing popped out I nearly started to cry. I adore his work and literally no one knows about his work in my country (Its shame). Thank you for sharing information about these interesting people.
Having just watched Spyfall: Part 2, can definitely can agree you on tempestuous life. But at least The Doctor kept life interesting 😂😏.
I can't believe you did one of my primary computing heroes! I had no idea she was chronically ill.
Twas the Master's fault
I'm from where her and lord Byron are buried and it's so annoying to see her forgotten, it's known as "lord byron's resting place" and we have a few signs saying this but no mention of Ada ☹️
My daughter Ada, named after Lovelace, just turned one! She's a fascinating historical figure. Thanks for doing a video on her.
Wow! Same!
that sounded like you were saying your daughter is a fascinating historical figure :)))
She was in the most recent episode of Doctor Who
Great timing then!
I would love to hear a profile on Oscar Wilde, he has totally fascinated me for so long!
There are some really good documentaries on his life and the attitudes of the times.
+
Alan Turing’s story was heartbreaking so I am looking forward to your video on him.
Hi! I love your videos, and ones about historical figures are a special treat! If you take suggestions, may I propose you do a video about Croatian painter Nasta Rojc? She was an out lesbian in the early 20th century, an avant-garde thinker, and painted a portrait of herself in drag nine years before Romaine Brooks painted hers. Unfortunately, a pointed effort was made to erase her from history precisely because she was a lesbian, and still she is never mentioned in art history classes, even though she was a crucial figure in Croatian modern art.
You forgot the part about when she helped the doctor to defeat the master 😜💕
Perfect timing! I've been meaning to Google her ever since Doctor Who last week 😂
Greetings from Hong Kong 🇭🇰 I just know about Ada from the new episode of Doctor Who and I think she is an amazing person who accomplished a lot. Thank you for this video that I could know more about her❤️
Please do a historical profile of Mary Shelley. The mother of science fiction.
Mary Shelly is fascinating, and a feminist as well. But I don't know if a woman who steals another's husband is Jessica's brand.
@@stephaniehight2771 none of the people who she's talked about have been perfectly moral people. No one is. Everyone does things that are in that moral grey area and everyone makes mistakes. She's talked about Alexander Graham Bell who is a complete garbage human, by comparison Mary Shelley is a saint.
@Meagan Wallwork You are correct! Full support here for a Mary Shelly bio, or better yet, a double featuring her mother, Mary Wollstonecraft as well.
@@stephaniehight2771 I love them both equally, I feel like her mother is often overlooked but also an incredibly talented woman
As a Web Developer with a degree in Math and a love for poetry and metaphysics, I think this is my favorite historical video you've made!!! Ada Lovelace is officially one of my favorite people in history, she sounds like a kindred spirit to my own :)
Oh! Please, make a video explaining more about the English peerage! I don’t find it so confusing as German aristocracy, but it will be definitely a great video since it's such a complex matter and your didactics are so ”simple” and funny. In the end, I just wanted to say how much I love your channel!
There is also a programming language called Ada which is named in her honour.
Alan Turing seems like a good historical figures follow-up to this!
Also PLEASE make a historical profile on Alan Turing as far as you could! I love him so much! It will be delightful to see a video about him on your channel ☺️
Just discovered this awesome historical woman through a doctor who ep, can't wait to learn more. Thank you for your amazing insight Jess keep up your amazing work, good luck in this new year, love to the family.
As soon as she said her name was Ada, I was "Ada Lovelace, well it's about bloody time" lol
I was unaware, until I saw this video, that the 'bouts of paralysis' that Ada talked about in Doctor Who was an actual problem the historical Ada suffered from.
she was on a episode of Doctor Who which was on Sunday on BBC one ! 😇👩🏻💻
Alan Turing
Would be nice to do a historical profile on him.
I don't know why, I burst into tears at the thing about her being buried at her request next to the father she never knew. And then felt ridiculous. It was the whole thing and a kind of surge of empathy for her and the pointless tragedies that weren't entirely pointless or without reason. But I'm sure her life is not the only one entitled to be felt for as tragic, by a long long stretch. Others needs ignored right now of course. But yes, the emotion of longing to reconcile connection with people where relationship was so important but fraught is sympathetic.
I love the music in this video.
I’m looking forward to your work on Alan Turing.
Her mom didn't want her to be lusty like Lord Byron (Ada's dad) and was kept away from the "arts". At least that's what we were taught.
I love all these historical profiles you're doing!
And yes, maybe a rough rundown of how British Aristocracy worked would be helpful! :D
Katzenschaf def need some kind of org chart to follow along with
Love Ada Lovelace! She is so awesome and inspiring. I get so frustrated that people try to discount her intelligence. Side note, Byron was also bisexual.
I love these videos!
Growing up as an American with an Anglophile teacher who majored in history as a father I couldn’t stand anything like this. And now I can’t get enough of it. Turns out I’m a visual learner and millennial that wants things fast and quick
I love learning about Ada, she’s one of my favourite people through out history. In one of my maths teacher’s classroom, we had a mural of Ada, and that very same teacher named his daughter after her, which I think is just lovely.
This was great! I knew bits and pieces of this, but it's delightful to hear it all laid out.
Also, 1) YAY for an Alan Turing profile! and 2) OMG, yes, pleeeeeeaaaaaase to an explanatory vid on the British aristocracy. Your very clear way of laying out a topic would be invaluable there!
I'm such a big fan of Ada I'm a female computer programmer myself
A video on aristocratic titles could be very interesting.
So would one on Turing.
Regine Gilbert is my friend! She is amazing, a genius, and has the biggest heart.
love this, just watched her character on Doctor Who!
Love today's headpiece! Excited to be here quick
Thanks Jessica ❤️ I have an interview with Amazon today (for software engineering) and this is making me more confident and inspired :)
I wish you the best of luck !
Much luck and many blessings for a positive outcome Nicole!! ♥
I hope it went well for you.
Please update us on how it went!
OMG!! I love this video. I work as a programmer and have a degree in mathematics. I only learned about Ada Lovelace AFTER earning my degree and working as a programmer for a year. I’m so glad you have made a video about her. Especially since the field really lacks inclusion
I love your historical profile series! Welcome back!
I had heard of Ada Lovelace and knew she did something with early computer programming, but I didn't know anything else about here, really. That's so amazing! She had such a cool life. Thank you for sharing her story so that more people can learn about this awesome, groundbreaking woman.
I am writing a long school paper on Alan Turing (I need to to finish school) and your explanations are actually incredible! I adore history and learning about important people 🙌
Perhaps you have already done this, but I recommend you watch "The Imitation Game" and play "Turochamp".
I made project about Ada Lovelace in 9 grade at school, love her very much
I will finish school this year and since 13 i want to be a programmer. She inspire me a lot
When i saw her (haha not real Ada...) in Doctor Who and she sad "i'm Ada and this world in my head" i understoond this is Ada Lovelace
I can talk hours about her and sometimes think if i have daughter i will named her after Ada
Thank you for video
I already know a lot of this, but this video is already worth it for 'Princess of Parallelograms'.
I first came across this name[Ada Lovelace] while I was studying discrete math in my first semester in uni but that's all I knew about her lol.Thanks to this video I can now learn a lil something about her
A video explaining british peerage would be great!
I've been reading up on her after a recent visit to Athens, where Lord Byron was mentioned several times in the National Historical Museum because of his exploits in the Greek Independence struggle. His story with all the women and children certainly makes for some interesting reading. And you're definitely right to call him a terrible father. Ada is a fascinating woman.
Ada Lovelace and Alan Turing (along with Charles Babbage) were important figures in the earliest classes I took in uni (history of tech: I have a STEM-related degree and am literally a computer programmer. Ada - the programming language - is one of the first I used to make stuff. It's been, wow...12 years since I attempted to create the worst calculator ever, in her honour).
Please make a video explaining the British/English peerage, cos it's a confusing as Great Britain vs United Kingdom and I've never understood it.
How about Dr. Joanne Simpson? She was the first woman to get a PhD in atmospheric sciences.
Please do a profile on Claude Cahun someday!
I’ve been saying this for a while, but I’ll try again.
You should do a Historical Profile on Rosemary Kennedy
Thank you for the brilliantly researched video! My husband and I named our daughter after Ada Lovelace - Ada is her second name. Didn't know the last bit about bloodletting - thank god for modern medicine!
Did you watch the recent Doctor Who episode with Ada in it?! IT WAS SO COOL THAT SHE WAS IN IT!!!!!
i wonder if the timing was coincidental or jessica planned it :P
@@seeduboyou I would assume that it was planned, or that's what gave her the idea
Ada Lovelace has been a hero of mine for YEARS. Thank you for this video :)
Looking forward to that Alan Turing video so much now!
Yes, Ada Lovelace, my heroine!! Thank you for this video ❤
I knew about Ada Lovelace, first computer programmer, but I didn't know Lord Byron was her father. Your history vids are so informative. Keep up the good work.
As a student of computer science I really appreciated this. I learnt about her in one of my lectures and I was fascinated by her, especially because there are only 15% female students in CS at my university.
consider Patricia Highsmith, female novelist famous for the Tom Ripley series and the book Strangers on a Train. also one of the first female comic book writers, who penned the once famous Black Terror, The Destroyer, and Captain Midnight. he most recognized work today is The Price of Salt, later made into the film Carol 2015. Warning...she was verbally critical of Black people and Asians.
Ada lovelace is a true inspiration to me as a young programmer and woman as the programming world can be sexist and prejudiced, she reminds me women can do it!
In 30+ years of software development, I've seen women just straight up drop fever: crisp code, impeccable designs. They like coding. They just don't want to put up with the dumb nonsense that used to go on / still goes on with a lot of team's dynamics. If they aren't key players on your teams, it's your teams, not women in code. Big cheer for doing a clip on Ada. Thoroughly legendary.
This brought me to tears. My partner and I were going to name our daughter Ada Lovelace [our last name] instead we have two sons, named after rock stars. (It's okay, I'm glad to have them too!) Thanks for this video, it's awesome!
great timing after that doctor who ep haha! a truly inspirational woman xxx
I'd love a profile on Louisa May Alcott! (From what I understand) she had major health issues after being administered mercury to save her life, that left her in pain and somewhat paralyzed. (I think something like that?) I love her books, read biographies, been to her grave, and toured her home in Massachusetts. As someone with chronic illness and an interest in writing I would love to know more about her later life!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I like your story telling technique perfect and comical
This is so interesting!
But i’d argue the first “computer” was the Jacquard loom designed/developed around 1804/5 (based on designs from the early to mid 1700s by other frenchman) that used binary punch cards that told the loom to switch out threads and change patterns would inspire the binary coding used for computing! I tend to view this as more of a “base” for computers. And then I would place Ada’s work right after. Ada’s work really speeding up the development of computers, making the path to what computers would be (able to use math formulas, theories, etc.) in the future!
Hi Jessica! I love your historical profiles. I was doing a bit of research and I thought I’d leave some ideas here for future videos:
Dorothea Lange, famous photographer, who contracted polio as a child and walked with a limp for the rest of her life. About her disability, she said:
“I think it was perhaps the most important thing that happened to me. It formed me, guided me, instructed me, helped me, humiliated me, all those things at once. I’ve never gotten over it, and I am aware of the force and power of it.”
There’s also Suffragette Rosa May Billinghurst, who was unable to walk and used an adapted hand-tricycle and never missed a demonstration! She was particularly concerned with gaining voting rights for poor women.
Another suffragette, Adelaide Knight, who had to walk in crutches her whole life, became the co-founder of the Communist Party of GB.
I hope some of these figures inspire you to make a new video. I can’t wait 😀
ada lovelace is one of my favorite topics, but this presentation compels my mentioning the sadness felt on hearing your personal physical hardships. Bless you and your perpetual smile though all the muck that life throws your way. color me subscribed.
Lord Byron has been referred to as "Mad, bad and dangerous to know". Babbage may have had the blocks but a pile of bricks isn't a house. Ada Lovelace is a fascinating woman, I'm looking forward to seeing more of these.
OMG I LOVED THIS! I'm a female Software Engineer so obviously Ada is a role model for me and this was a great portrait of her! Well done Jessica!
I’m an analyst and love sharing her story as the mother of analytics. My pup is named after her and i wish she were more well known.
The building for Computer Science of the Otto-von-Guericke University in Magdeburg was named after her. She was a mix of her father and mother, the understanding of maths like her mother, but the creativity of her father. And yes, even as Byron fan, he was a terrible father, might be thanks to his childhood.
As a mathematician, I already knew this one, but so glad you included her. 😊
Didn't know much about Ada Lovelace, so this video was really educational - and fun. Her ideas of mixing logics and language, science and poetry is truly beautiful and amazing
Ellen Churchill Semple. She was an American Geographer, and the first female president of the Association of American Geographers.
Oh, Ada, one of my heroes since childhood!!!
I am loving Jessica's Historical profiles so much. I have learnt a lot I didn't know. I would like Jessica to do a profile on Vita Sackville-West. She fell in love with Virginia Woolf and had affairs with women, although married to Harold Nicholson for security. She also was a great garden designer and left everything to the National trust. I think she made the gardens around Sissinghurst castle. That's as much as I know but I think there is a lot more to learn and I think Jessica can make a super profile of her. I would love to see one. xxxx
The 2020s, the decade in which Jessica will get her own BBC series on disabled and LGBTQ+ historical figures.
Dear god, yessss, please make a video explaining the levels and layers and terms of the British royals. I am a fascinated and confused yank.
Fabulous video! Ada Lovelace is one of my favourite historical figures-mostly for to purpose of using her example, among others, in arguments with sexists about women's math skills-but I had no idea about either her suffering chronic illness or her gambling syndicate, which I have to find out more about because that's fantastic. XD Lovely video, excellent work
Your knowledge is awesome and yes, aristocracy with the different titles is complicated. It would be great if you made a video on that topic.
Thanks for introducing such amazing forgotten personalities. I love such "dreamers" who set up cornerstones to later important discoveries and inventions.
What a great video so much to think about computers that early mindblowing 🤯
I would love a video about why how titles in England work sounds fun 😊
Thx for the learnding made the flu more easy to get along with 🤧😊😘
If I recall correctly, Ada's life, or part thereof, became the subject of a play that was put on over there in Britain.
Love your historical videos! Thanks, very interesting!!
As a disabled person that wasn't born with my disabilities. I am in aww by how positive you always seem. I mean to say, I go out of my way to be enjoyable company for most people around me. But you are a ray of sunshine in every video I have seen you in. You are a positive influence on the world.
I love your historical videos!
I love this series. Thank you for doing them!
Great video Jessica! Your videos continue to broaden my mind and inspire me. 😁
Loved the vid! Thanks!
Ah yes Lord Byron, quite possibly the world's most problematic bisexual.
THIS WAS SO GOOD 💕
Fan from the Silicon Valley here. Ashamed to say we didn't learn much (if any thing) about Ada Lovelace, and I'm slightly appalled about that given I'm at ground zero for so much technical innovation. So thank you for making this video! It was very informative :) Always nice to learn more about hsitorical geek women.
i'm sure someone has mentioned before and not every british person speaks exactly the same way but jessica's speech patterns in this video keeps reminding me of keira knightley!
Awesome job as usual Jessica! Such a good historical profile.
I love that you are covering Ada Lovelace, shes such an inspiration to me!
The first person to write a modern computer language was also a woman, and an Admiral - RADM Grace Hopper. She wrote COBOL and established the computer language responsible for DARPANet, the progenitor of the modern internet.
grats on getting a sponcer and awsome vid as per usual .
Always love these historical profiles and the little I know of Ada Lovelace is already really interesting! Glad to learn more
