I completely agree with your implied meaning, but the linked article gave me pause:
Dorothy Stein, the first of Lovelace’s biographers with sufficient training to seriously assess Ada’s frequent proclamations of her own extraordinary mathematical genius, concludes that Lovelace was scarcely the prodigy she imagined herself to be, and struggled to grasp concepts that would be standard fare in a modern high school course in AP calculus.
Judging mathematical genius between separate centuries seems fundamentally flawed.
Indeed, it is difficult (although of course that's a sword that cuts both ways: since AFAIK Lovelace's work lead to zero practical work, zero people building on it, and had zero influence on later mathematicians or engineers or logicians like Turing, and her claim to fame is solely our judgment of her genius and historical priority), but let's not exaggerate the difficulty: she wrote her program in 1843, and the AP exams began in 1955 or so (hard to find dates), so that's 112 years. Was the teaching of calculus so revolutionized during that span that Ada's...
Today is Ada Lovelace Day, when STEM enthusiasts highlight the work of modern and historical women scientists, engineers, and mathematicians. If you run a blog, you may want to participate by posting about a woman in a STEM field whom you admire. But I'd love to have people share women scientists/mathematicians/authors in the comments that they think we could all stand to read more about.
