What would it feel like to be right there when a scientist experiences her “eureka!” moment? Find out! Meet Ada Lovelace, daughter of world-renowned poet Lord Byron and his highly educated wife, Anne Milbanke, and a brilliant mathematician, writer, and hugely important figure in the rise of computer technology.

Lo encontré en una biblioteca escolar, disfrute mucho de la historia de Ada y su pasión me inspiro mucho como mujer Ingeniera. Es una biografía con apoyo de algunas caricaturas para niños o personas que leen más bien poco, corta y super entretenida
