Max Reinhardt called her the “most beautiful woman in Europe” due to her “strikingly dark exotic looks”. Mathematically talented, Lamarr came up with an early technique for spread spectrum communications and frequency hopping, necessary for wireless communication from the pre-computer age to the present day.

fuckyeahhistorycrushes: This hot piece of engineer is none other than Nikola Tesla. An underrated inventor, he created the basis for all modern electrical engineering. However, he was constantly screwed over by his colleagues and ended up dying penniless and in debt, kept company only by a white pigeon he claimed visited him every day. Sad, I know. Not only did Tesla have 300 patents for inventions in his lifetime, but he was a smokin’ fox. Though he never married, he apparently had women constantly fawning over him and claiming to be madly in love with them. And can you blame them? He was once described by a diplomat as having a “distinguished sweetness, sincerity, modesty, refinement, generosity, and force.” What a cutie.

fuckyeahhistorycrushes: Georgiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire. Political activist, socialite, reigning queen of the “Devonshire Circle” (which included many of the most prominent members of the ton in England) and generally dazzling human being. Despite not being traditionally beautiful, she was also a HUGE fashion icon and counted among her friends (and lovers) Charles Fox, Charles Grey, William Sheridan, and Marie Antoinette. She also ruffled more than a few feathers with her love of politics, gambling, and extravagance in all areas.
