Ada Lovelace

Augusta Ada Byron, Countess of Lovelace, daughter of the famous romantic poet Lord Byron, better known as Ada Lovelace, was a pioneer in 19th century London. Thanks to her mathematical knowledge and great imagination she devised, with the support of her inventor friends, the first computer program. The incredible thing is that when Ada invented it, computers did not yet exist. That's what you call being a visionary. The story is also a journey through her ideas and a portrait of the wise men and inventors she met in a fascinating era, the Industrial Revolution.
