Ada Lovelace (The First Names Series)

Meet the woman who created computers!

Before she helped pioneer the early computer, Ada Lovelace was just a little girl with her head in the clouds. When her father, a famous poet, died in disgrace, Ada's mother encouraged Ada's interest in mathematics to prevent her from following in her father's footsteps. But nothing could stifle Ada's imagination! She grew up to be a gifted mathematician and writer and went on to develop an analytical engine with Charles Babbage that today is seen as the earliest computer.
