Ada Lovelace: The Woman Who Dreamt in Numbers

Meet Ada Lovelace - the woman who dreamt in numbers.

Born in 1815, the daughter of the famous poet Lord Byron, Ada Lovelace was raised on mathematics rather than poetry - and yet she would combine both in a way no one before her had imagined. At seventeen, she met the inventor Charles Babbage, whose Analytical Engine would change her life. By twenty-seven, she had written what we now recognise as the world's first computer program - over a century before computers existed.

This beautifully illustrated children's biography brings Ada's extraordinary mind into vivid focus for young readers. From her childhood drawing flying machines, to her partnership with Babbage, to the algorithm she designed for a machine that wouldn't be built for a hundred years - discover the woman who saw the future in numbers, and showed the world what was possible.

Part of Brilliant Women, Remarkable Stories - a series of accessible, beautifully crafted biographies for young readers, bringing to life the women who shaped our world.

A perfect first biography for curious children ages 6-10. An ideal introduction for young coders, mathematicians, and dreamers.
