Note(s) : Ada's Legacy illustrates the depth and diversity of writers, thinkers, and makers
who have been inspired by Ada Lovelace, the English mathematician and writer. The
volume, which commemorates the bicentennial of Ada's birth in December 1815, celebrates
Lovelace's many achievements as well as the impact of her life and work, which reverberated
widely since the late nineteenth century. In the 21st century we have seen a resurgence
in Lovelace scholarship, thanks to the growth of interdisciplinary thinking and the
expanding influence of women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
Ada's Legacy is a unique contribution to this scholarship, thanks to its combination
of papers on Ada's collaboration with Charles Babbage, Ada's position in the Victorian
and Steampunk literary genres, Ada's representation in and inspiration of contemporary
art and comics, and Ada's continued relevance in discussions around gender and technology
in the digital age. With the 200th anniversary of Ada Lovelace's birth on December
10, 2015, we believe that the timing is perfect to publish this collection of papers.
Because of its broad focus on subjects that reach far beyond the life and work of
Ada herself, Ada's Legacy will appeal to readers who are curious about Ada's enduring
importance in computing and the wider world
