"Ada Lovelace Cracks the Code" by Corinne Purtill tells the inspiring story of Ada Lovelace, a pioneering mathematician and writer often considered the first computer programmer. Set against the backdrop of the Victorian era, the narrative explores Ada's journey as she navigates societal expectations while pursuing her passion for mathematics and science. Encouraged by her mother and her mentor, Charles Babbage, Ada works to understand and expand on Babbage's ideas about computing. Through her intelligence and creativity, she begins to envision the possibilities of machines, ultimately laying the groundwork for modern computing and proving that imagination is as vital as mathematics.

Ada Lovelace - born Augusta Ada Byron, daughter to the poet Lord Byron, in 1815 - was a Mathematician and writer. She is best known for her remarkable work with Charles Babbage in building an early computer - the Analytical Engine. She designed the first algorithm used by a machine, and so is recognised as the first computer programmer. She died of uterine cancer in 1852 at the age of 36.
