In today’s episode, we celebrate the birthday of Shakuntala Devi, who was known as the “Human Calculator.” An Indian writer and feminist, Devi earned her notoriety through her genius talents of mental calculations, earning her the Guinness World Record for “Fastest Human Computation.” Not only did she strive to simplify numerical calculations for students, but she was also a pioneer for her feminist works and studies on homosexuality. Happy birthday, Shakuntala!
