Ada Lovelace and friends: ThinkGeek's women in tech tees

This Ada Lovelace tee is part of Thinkgeek's new Heroine series, which spotlights women technology pioneers. Love it.

Heroine: Ada Lovelace (via Wonderland)

Previously:

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

I’m just disappointed they only offer them as babydoll shirts. I’m a guy, and I’d totally wear that art on a male-fitted T-shirt.

Am I the only one who gets Ada and Linda Lovelace confused?

What is that pipe-looking thing supposed to be?

i’m one who would totally wear this shirt, or maybe i’d pick the Marie Curie one, if they were available in a large, regular t-shirt style. they are much artier than many of the thinkgeek designs! but the “ladies” style is a no-go for me, and a few others with whom i’ve exclaimed over them.

Lady Lovelace sure has had a resurgence in popularity hasn’t she (this coming from a 2D Goggles fan)?

Funny you should mention Marie Curie. Ãˆve Curie wrote in her biography of her mother that she would find her mother in a black dress, seated on the floor, surrounded by papers and muttering numbers to herself in Polish; almost exactly how the Lovelace tee-shirt looks.

I agree we with #s 2 and 5- make a guy’s tee! I’d definitely wear this.

  Agreed–that Curie shirt is just gorgeous.

Aw, disappointment. I was hoping this was “Thinkgeek’s women” in “tech tees”. Or even better, I hoped it was some pics of Lady Ada modeling t-shirts. Woof.

Sadly, it’s just and ad for yet another garment I’d look inappropriate in.

  Or…you could get up from the keyboard and go outside. There are women in T-shirts all over the place.

The Marie Curie shirt is also pretty awesome
