Abstract
This scientific and academic paper aims to make a historical review of the female contribution to the history of computing, through a bibliographic research by qualitative methodology of data analysis. So this story begins with Augusta Ada King, Countess Ada Lovelace, a precursor to the field of development and programming in the field of computer technology by developing the first machine-executable algorithm, in this case the Charles Babbage Analytical Engineer. Thus, there is the redemption of female names that have made a major contribution to the development of computer history and which are of utmost importance to connoisseurs of computer science today. It then presents aspects of Ada Lovelace's life, which shows her story from the variations that have reached family relationships and moments of dedication in mathematics studies, as well as her writing talent manifested through poetic science that has resulted in a futuristic vision and that led to imagine the potential of machines long before being used or displayed, thus showing them a human being far ahead of her time and with fantastic ideas for her time, considering that at that time as women they had no rights and no spaces they have today. Thus, she demonstrated that her imagination about artifacts went beyond her usefulness to humans. Finally, we analyze or analyze Ada's thinking left to science and technology, as well as some curiosities about who is a memorable person for humanity to the present day in the field of use, including being celebrated and acclaimed using a date that how to recover. Its memory and have a great worldwide repercussion, as well as a programming language that bears her name and other expressions of rescue of her memory, characterizing a social recognition for a person.
Highlights
Technology is constantly evolving along with human interaction techniques
Knowing and recognizing women's contribution to scientific development is urgent. Knowing that they have always been present in these areas of knowledge, knowing the trajectory of pioneer women in the sciences that, despite suffering all sorts of prejudice and discrimination, contributed to the scientific development of humanity, allows more girls / girls / women to be interested in enter these careers
Believing this is what we share with readers the story of Ada Lovelace
Summary
Technology is constantly evolving along with human interaction techniques. It is the result of a meeting between science and engineering that remains innovative, providing numerous solutions to society's problems, as well as creating other needs, whether through hardware or software, which keeps the flow of continuity of its improvement. Sister Mary Kenneth Keller [6, 13]: participated in the development of the BASIC language She was the first woman to receive a doctoral degree in computer science in the United States; VII. HedyLamarr [23]: Together with composer George Antheil, she invented, during World War II, a communications system for the United States Armed Forces that served as the basis for the WI-FI system, GPS, and current mobile telephony These are some names that exemplify the presence of women in this area of knowledge. This article aims to arouse, in the reader, the sensitivity to know and reflect on the historical construction of Computer Technology and Science, recognizing the contribution of women and the legacy of this memorable character that makes up a part important in the trajectory of this area of knowledge
