Ada Lovelace gained fame posthumously for her work in the 1840s, particularly for her notes on Charles Babbage's proposed Analytical Engine. Her extensive notes included what is considered the first algorithm intended for implementation on a machine, earning her the title of the first computer programmer. Although her contributions were not widely recognized during her lifetime, interest in her work grew significantly in the late 20th century, leading to her recognition as a pioneer in computing.
