Bony Sweaty Greasy Scratchy Flaky Body Science Book

Ada Lovelace was the daughter of Lord Byron, poet and lover extraordinaire. Her mother raised her hoping that she wouldn't inherit her father's debauched ways and so Ada was schooled in logic and reason, science and mathematics. Today we remember Ada for being the first computer programmer in an age where there were no computers and the engineering didn't exist to build one. Unfortunately, Ada lived in the Victorian era where the world was advancing but women's lives were not. This is a well-written biography of an interesting woman who, I am sure, would be absolutely thrilled with the technology of the 21st century.
