Description
A captivating double biography that brings to life two driven and complicated women. Miranda Seymour's meticulously researched work vividly portrays Annabella Milbanke and Ada Lovelace, their lives intertwined with the tumultuous world of 19th-century England. Annabella Milbanke married the notorious Lord Byron in 1815, but just one year later she fled, taking their baby daughter Ada with her. Despite being asked to suppress her daughter's poetic inclinations, Annabella instead nurtured a love of mathematics and learning that would shape Ada's future. As Ada grew into an exuberant and unconventional young woman, she made groundbreaking contributions to the field of computer science, predicting the dawn of the modern computer age. This deeply absorbing biography explores the lives of two remarkable women, their struggles, triumphs, and passions, set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing world.
