Ada must never become poetical! Only one thing has the power to subdue poetry... MATHEMATICS! As a graduate of Computer Science and having a job as a programmer, I vastly enjoyed the wit, humor and origin of the intelligent, fantastic and great Ada Lovelace (daughter of the poet Lord Byron) -- regarded as the very 1st programmer because her papers on the engine include what is recognized as the 1st algorithm intended to be carried out by a machine (credit: Wikipedia).

Not only was this book informative in its on way but I also think that if women could know more about the accomplishments and contributions of other women in our society, make them their models, then most of the female population would not be discouraged and frightened in getting into Science and Math-related courses whilst also breaking the norm of this ridiculous patriarchal society.
