Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Ada Lovelace and the Start of Computers explores how Ada Lovelace turned her powerful imagination into a vision of the future, predicting the impact of computers on human life.

Lovelace had a unique education and embraced mathematics, becoming one of the biggest believers in engineer Charles Babbage's ideas for calculation machines.

This graphic biography illustrates how Lovelace helped spread awareness of what an early computer could do and how she became one of the first computer programmers. It also reveals how Lovelace pushed back against doubts about calculation machines and her own self-doubt.
