A children’s book about a young Mary Shelly and Ada Lovelace – pro-math, pro-history, pro-science, pro-literature, and they solve mysteries! [Millie, unsurprisingly, loves everything about this unreservedly.]

Millie also loves everything about this woman’s art project, “Lavatory Self-Portraits in the Flemish Style.” The facial expressions are AMAZING.

  1. Dude, I funded that book so hard. Lovelace and Shelley, mystery solvng team? Be still my heart! This is the thing I love about kickstarter, the ability to fund the change you want to see in the world. More ladies/girls being awesome your goal? Find the right kickstarter.

    One day, I want to kickstart a game about an awesome girl who goes on an adventure with her grandmother. I just need to get to the point with Mia and Lyse that we can do somethings. :3

  2. The lavatory self portraits put mine to shame…

  3. Oh man, I was dying over the Lavatory Self Portraits. And how cute is that mobile?
