Lessin's Lessons: Ada Lovelace
The story of Ada Lovelace — daughter of the poet Lord Byron, raised on hard math by a mother determined to keep her away from poetry. She grew up to look at a giant brass calculator built by her friend Charles Babbage and see something he hadn't: that a machine made for arithmetic could one day make music, write stories, and think. She wrote down how to make it do those things. That makes her the world's first computer programmer — about a hundred years before there was a computer to run her programs on.
