About this title

Synopsis:

Through the infamous divorce of her parents, Ada Lovelace became the most talked-about child in Georgian Britain. This riveting biography tells the extraordinary yet little known story of her life and times when mathematics was as fashionable as knitting among women and Ada became the world's first computer programmer. But for her era's view on gender, Ada would single-handedly have started the digital age more than two centuries ago.

Review:

''The story that might have started the computer age a century sooner.'' --Independent

''Engrossing.'' --New York Times

''Anyone who thinks Lovelace s contribution to computer science is overrated, should read [this] new biography.'' --Engineering and Technology Magazine
