Here's my take on the outsider's collab. Ada Lovelace is an idol of mine and most definitely was an outsider in her time. A maverick, a loose cannon! :) Check her out on Wikipedia she was an utter legend. Daughter of the poet Byron and considered by many to be the world's first computer programmer for her work on Babbage's analytical engine.
She was the charmer’s daughter
But it must be said
Not the only one
The poet and the baroness
Had wished instead
To bear an heir and son
She was not what they wanted
The furies were on her shoulders
The sickness was in her skin
But Ada Augusta showed us
That even the damned can win
When the trials test us
We don’t give in
The illicit antics
Of the lustful lord
Were passed your way for shame
But the old romantic
Never struck a chord
You never were the same
You were not what she dreaded
