\chapter{The Faces of Computing: \\Ada Lovelace}

Computer science is strongly allied with mathematics, and the face of both of those fields is often a white male face. While it's true that both of these fields have traditionally been the domain of white males, many women and minorities have contributed to both mathematics and computer science over the years. 

One of the women who made significant contributions to both fields was Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace, otherwise known as Ada Lovelace. 

Lovelace was the child of the English poet Lord Byron\footnote{This period in English history is especially fascinating to me, as Lord Byron was in a social circle that included his wife, daughter, the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley and his wife Mary Shelley (who was the daughter of Mary Wollstonecraft, an early feminist and advocate of women's rights, and William Godwin, who had many not so nice things to say about aristocracy. This circle would eventually lead to the production of \textit{Dracula} by Bram Stoker, \textit{Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus} by Mary Shelley, the modern computer algorithm and by extension, the modern computer industry, and many, many great horror films.} and reformer Anne Isabella Milbanke.\footnote{Lady Byron (i.e., Anne Isabella Noel Byron, 11th Baroness Wentworth and Baroness Byron) was an interesting personality herself. She was an educational reformer and philanthropist, in addtion to being an abolitionist. She established the Ealing Grove School, the first industrial school in England. At this school, academic subjects were combined with three hours of gardening each day, and corporal punishment was not allowed. (Corporal punishment in elementary school was still a thing when I was a student in the 1970s.)} Ada showed an early interest in mathematics, and her mother encouraged this in an effort to ward off the development of what she perceived as Lord Byron's insanity.\footnote{This was, after all, an age which did not have a good understanding of mental illness. We are doing better in this regard, but we still have quite a way to go.}
