Not much mention of female genius, Ada Lovelace, Mary Shelley, Grace Hopper, etc
- lern_too_spel 5y agoThere are several mentions of female geniuses who were developed by aristocratic tutoring, including Émilie du Châtelet, Ada Lovelace, Hannah Arendt, and Virginia Woolf. It is certainly true that historically, girls were given this benefit less often than boys, so we should expect fewer historical female geniuses than male geniuses if we believe the author's hypothesis.
