Apart from her genius, her perseverence, indomitable spirit, passion, and sheer, gritty, strength struck me when I read about her. But he did write a poem to her - Gift of Rhyme came more easily than the Gift of Time, apparently. As she famously asked, 'If you can't give me poetry, can't you give me poetical science?' And her father was the famous Lord Byron but unfortunately, he wouldn't have won the 'Best Father' Award because he was never around. Through it all, her passion for reading (she loved numbers and technology) and music kept her going. Her parents separated almost immediately after she was born, and her mother referred to Ada as 'it' (yikes) - what an environment for a child! Her headaches during childhood were so severe they nearly made her blind, and she was bedridden was nearly a year when she was eight, because of a severe attack of measles. I chose Ada Lovelace for the December release because her birthday is on the 10th of December and she seems to have had quite the turbulent life.
