Ada Lovelace was a mathematician, writer, and visionary born in 1815 in London. She is known for her work on Charles Babbage's proposed mechanical general-purpose computer, the Analytical Engine, and is considered the world's first computer programmer. Ada's work was largely forgotten for many years, but she has recently been rediscovered and is now celebrated as a pioneer of computing and a trailblazer for women in STEM fields.
It is Lovelace's work on the Analytical Engine that has led to her being known as the first computer programmer, though Babbage never saw her as more than an 'interpretress', as he called her, of his work. - James Essinger
