Here’s a “thinking out of the box” thought. I’ve always wished Oprah would support women in Science and Math, and not just the entertainment world.
She’s got a huge public platform and could really change women’s lives by making science and math cool. Ada Lovelace’s story would be a great introduction. It’s a “soft” tech story, and has many possibility. It’s a human story, it involves reading/writing letters. All things Oprah likes. In the US, we just got the Amelia Earhart story; Frontline did a great piece on the financial crisis and introduced the public to Brooksley Born. Another woman broke Enron story. Oprah is getting her “OWN” network on Discovery. I’d pitch women in technology, and stories like Ada Lovelace, Mileva Maric (Einstein’s wife) like crazy. Documentaries, movies, etc. These are really interesting women, and historically they haven’t been getting a lot of notice. I’d love to see a story about Grace Hopper, an African American women in tech. There are so many stories to be told! Thanks. I can’t wait!

For an educational discipline founded by the Binary Countess of Lovelace, Computer Science sure does seem to be lacking females!

Thanks for making this film!

This film MUST be made. If for no other reason than she is still virtually an unknown. Both my father, a electrical engineer (over 65), and my brother, a mathematician (mid-30s), looked at me blankly, saying “who?” when I mentioned Lady Ada Lovelace worked with Charles Babbage on the difference engine.

While the reasoning behind it has changed over the past hundred years, the preconception women are somehow incapable in science and mathematics persists, especially here in the United States.

Have you contacted or been contacted by anyone at Adafruit Industries?
