The first chapter of Isaacson's 'The Innovators' is all about Ada.

@bjflanagan Agreed. The true visionaries of human history neither referred to themselves as such nor were recognized for being so until long after their accomplishments were finally understood. Be wary of the self-promoter and those who seek praise from the ignorant.
