About this product
Product Information
This illuminating biography reveals how the daughter of Lord Byron, Britain's most infamous Romantic poet, became the world's first computer programmer. Even by 1800s standards, Ada Byron Lovelace had an unusual upbringing. Her strict mother worked hard at cultivating her own role as the long-suffering ex-wife of bad-boy poet Lord Byron while raising Ada in isolation. Tutored by the brightest minds, Ada developed a hunger for mental puzzles, mathematical conundrums, and scientific discovery that kept pace with the breathtaking advances of the industrial and social revolutions taking place in Europe. At seventeen, Ada met eccentric inventor Charles Babbage, a kindred spirit. Their ensuing collaborations resulted in ideas and concepts that presaged computer programming by almost two hundred years, and Ada Lovelace is now recognized as a pioneer and prophet of the information age. Award-winning author Emily Arnold McCully opens the window on a peculiar and singular intellect, shaped -- and hampered -- by history, social norms, and family dysfunction. The result is a portrait that is at once remarkable and fascinating, tragic and triumphant.

Reviews
"Everyone who uses computers should know about Ada Lovelace. This lively biography is a great place to learn the story." --Steve Sheinkin, three-time National Book Award finalist "Meticulous research combined with elegant prose introduces young readers to this important piece of hidden history." --Doreen Rappaport, award-winning author of multiple biographies for young readers "A masterful depiction of science as it was conducted some two hundred years ago." --Harriet Reisen, author of Louisa May Alcott: The Woman Behind Little Women "Combining vivid narrative with impeccable research, Emily Arnold McCully not only gives readers a fresh and captivating live story, but also returns Ada Lovelace to her rightful place in history. I loved it!" --Candace Fleming, author of the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award winners The Family Romanov and The Lincolns "This is a beautifully written and utterly fascinating account of the life of the unsung heroine of the computer age, Ada Byron Lovelace, daughter of Lord Byron. She was a mathematical genius and the inventor of computer programming. The obstacles Ada overcame -- physical illness, a pathologically controlling mother, and, above all, the misogyny of the scientific establishment -- defy the imagination. Without her, we would not have the vast networks of the computer age that underlie our modern world." --Dinitia Smith, author of The Honeymoon "Combining vivid narrative with impeccable research, Emily Arnold McCully not only gives readers a fresh and captivating live story, but also returns Ada Lovelace to her rightful place in history. I loved it!" --Candace Fleming, author of the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award winners The Family Romanov and The Lincolns
