It makes a change for a non military-programer to know her name, I'm well impressed.

She made a large contribution to science, but she's more or less forgotten.

(I remember her mainly because of the Byron connection)

Ada Lovelace was a {second}cousin of Byron, although it's doubtful they ever met. She assisted Charles Babbage design his Difference Engine by undertaking many intricate and convoluted calculations, thus earning herself the accolade of "The First Computer Programer".

She is little remembered now, except for the programing language "ADA" which is used for real-time military and weapon programs.

It is generally the fate of women such as that to be forgotten.
