The title is a reference to Babbage's own appellation for Lovelace as "the Enchantress of Numbers".
- kjs3 11y agoI'm aware of how Babbage referred to her in the mid-1800s. That's the point. [Edited for clarity]
- stefantalpalaru 11y agoAt what point do we admit that Babbage was using this mediocre celebrity-by-birth to get his articles published and maybe some funding?
- theoh 11y agoShe was a personality, though, at least that's the impression given in "Zeros + Ones" by Sadie Plant (mandatory feminist correction).
