- Mary Tudor, first female to rule England


Though Elizabeth I gets all the acclaim, it was her half-sister Mary Tudor, the only adult child of King Henry VIII and his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, who was crowned the first Queen of England in 1553. This was after the death of Henry in 1547 and a short reign by Henry’s ill-fated teenage son, Edward (who was Henry’s child with his third wife, Jane Seymour). Known historically as “Bloody Mary” for her sometimes violent political acts, she was succeeded in death by Elizabeth in 1558.

- Lydia Taft, first woman to vote legally in America


In 1756, a century before woman’s suffrage became a movement, Lydia Chapin Taft became the first female to vote in America. Lydia was the widow of an influential landowner in Uxbridge, Massachusetts, whose recent death was thwarting the town’s plan to help finance the ongoing French and Indian war. So to get stuff done, Lydia was asked to vote in her dead husband’s place.


Guess word of Lydia’s voting never reached President Grover Cleveland, who famously said that “sensible” women don’t vote. He really said that.

- Ada Lovelace, first female computer programmer


Ada Lovelace was not only the first female computer programmer, but also the first computer programmer overall. A brilliant mathematician born in England, she wrote the world’s first machine algorithm for an early computing machine called the “Analytical Engine.”


It calculated Bernoulli numbers, thanks to Lovelace’s data input. It’s not shocking since there is a proven advantage that the female brain has over the male brain.
