The Victorians & Computers: Ada Lovelace and her Algorithm

Ada Lovelace is largely considered to be the world's first computer programmer. And she was a Victorian! The daughter of Lord Byron, she wasn't just famous because of her parentage, but also in her own right. Her and her collaborator Charles Babbage were instrumental in laying the groundwork for what would one day lead to the invention of modern computers.
