In Ada’s time, girls aren’t encouraged to pursue maths, physics or engineering as they’re considered not clever enough but Ada doesn’t let this stop her. Growing up in the shadow of her eccentric superstar father, the poet Lord Byron, and under the eye of her strict mother, Ada spends her time inventing and designing flying machines and studying her favourite subject – maths. Firstly, the book is a beautifully produced hardcover. This time her subject is the fantastically feminist and totally true story of the mathematician extraordinaire Ada Lovelace. Meet the remarkable Ada Lovelace: rebellious rule-breaker and maths whizz-kid. Ada Lovelace by Anna Doherty This is the second utterly fantastic non-fiction publication that I have read by Anna Doherty. An inspiring, empowering, fantastically feminist and totally true story, perfect for fans of Little People, Big Dreams and Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls!
