Anne Isabelle Milbanke
So, I'm going to guess you've never heard Anne Isabelle Milbanke...but that's okay because I didn't either before I researched her. She's actually a pretty interesting person. Her husband gave her the nickname of the "Princess of Parallelograms" before they got married. Ms.Milbanke got married to Lord George Gordon Byron on January 2, 1815, but that ended pretty quickly. About a month after the birth of their child Ada, on January 16, 1816, Lord and Lady Byron were separated. After that, Lady Byron made sure that Ada didn't turn out like her dad at all. She made sure that Ada found a love in math, like her mother. (The Lord was more of a poet.) Lady Byron herself adored math and contributed a lot to the math society. She died in 1860.
