Once upon a time there was a girl named Augusta Ada King, she was born on December 10, 1815. Her mother left her home with her a month after her birth, after finding out that her husband was unfaithful to her. This caused the girl to grow up without her father.

Ada was a very sickly girl. At 7 years old, the little girl contracted an illness that left her bedridden for several months. At fourteen, her legs were temporarily paralyzed as a result of severe measles, which caused her to concentrate a lot on her studies and reading.

His mother tried hard to give him a good and strict education, which included music, French and mathematics. Likewise, he wanted his daughter to have a scientific training, and to do so he hired the prestigious Scottish mathematician and astronomer Mary Somerville.

To further stimulate Ada's interest in science and technology, mother and daughter traveled through the most industrialized regions of England, where the girl was able to admire the latest machines such as the "Jacquard loom", a mechanical loom invented by Joseph Marie Jacquard and that already at that time used punched cards to function.

When she turned 18, and like any other young aristocrat of her time, Ada began to attend high society parties and at one of them, organized by her tutor Mary Somerville, she met the mathematician Charles Babbage, who had designed a calculator. mechanic capable of calculating tables of numerical functions by the method of differences.

 Babbage's invention excited Ada, and most importantly, the young woman thought that this invention demonstrated that one day in the not-too-distant future machines would make it possible to change people's lives.

In 1835, Ada met William King-Noel, Lord Lovelace, a member of an influential family. Young Ada's mother quickly approved of this relationship. On 8 July 1835, the couple married, and Ada became Lady King. From that moment on she would always sign herself as Ada Lovelace.
