A portrait of a particularly fascinating woman. --Jezebel on Ada's Algorith A fine new Lovelace biography... We need her as a symbol...of all the women who have contributed to the progress of science and technology, and of all the women who might have contributed if given the chance. --Slate on Ada's Algorith Irresistible ... If more people could have understood Babbage's machine the way Lovelace did -- indeed, if they had not all but ignored her paper, perhaps because the author was a woman -- computing might have had a far earlier start. --Chicago Tribune on Ada's Algorith Essinger is a terrific storyteller, and he knows a great story when he sees it. Ada's Algorithm is a riveting read. --American Scientist on Ada's Algorith A tantalizing topic... The story of a society proceeding irrevocably but ambivalently into the modern age, enthralled by advances in science and technology, adapting to new social mores, and yet still beholden to many antiquated traditions. --Wall Street Journal on Ada's Algorith Engrossing. --New York Times Book Review on Ada's Algorithm
