Biographies of Women in History

As the sole legitimate child of Lord Byron, Ada Lovelace was the progeny of literary royalty. Many might have naturally expected her to go into the field of her father, but instead of delving into poetry, she delved into the hard sciences of mathematics and analytic thinking. Even so, Ada still had the imagination of a lyricist when writing scientific treatises, at times referring to her own work as nothing short of "poetical science." Everything she did, she did with passion and dogged determination. It was this drive that led Ada to look farther and search deeper than her contemporaries. Her unique vision led her to become one of the pioneers of the modern computer and one of the world's first computer programmers.Discover a plethora of topics such as The Daughter of Lord and Lady Byron Early Years of Paralysis The World's First Computer Programmer Rumors and Laudanum Addiction A Grim Prognosis Last Days and Death And much more!Explore the life of Ada Lovelace, the visionary mathematician who is widely regarded as the world's first computer programmer.

Rosalind Franklin was what can only be called an overlooked genius. Although she was not fully credited for the feat at the time, her work led to major breakthroughs in our understanding of DNA. In fact, she took the first X-ray photo of DNA in all of its double helix glory. By the time her former colleagues were being showered with accolades for results they made at least partially based on her findings, Franklin would not be around to see it. Sadly, it's believed that her use of X-ray equipment gave her terminal cancer, cutting her life short at age 37.Discover a plethora of topics such as Early Life in London Franklin during World War II Photo 51: The Mysteries of DNA Rivalry: The Race to Discovery Study of Viruses Late Life and Illness And much more!Explore the life of Rosalind Franklin, the brilliant scientist whose work was critical to discovering the structure of DNA.
