Ada!

Ladies Last: Eight Inventions by Women That Dudes Got Credit For | Mother Jones

October 15th is Ada Lovelace Day, named for the world’s first computer programmer and dedicated to promoting women in STEM—science, technology, engineering, and math. A Victorian-era mathematical genius, Lovelace was the first to describe how computing machines could solve math problems, write new forms of music, and much more, if you gave them instructions in a language they could understand.

Just for you, Ada, we break our rule against quoting headlines with lists ("eight inventions").
