Description

Far from a victim or an obstacle to Lord Byron’s work, Lady
Byron was a rebel against the fashionable snobbery of
her class, founding the first Infants School and Co-Operative
School in England. A poet and a talented mathematician,
Lady Byron supported the education of her precocious daughter,
Ada Lovelace, now recognized as a pioneer of computer
science, and she saved from death her “adoptive daughter,”
Medora Leigh, the child of Lord Byron’s incestuous affair with
his sister. Lady Byron was adored by the younger abolitionist
Harriet Beecher Stowe and by many notable friends. Yet
her complex relationships with her family, including the sister
Byron loved, runs like a live wire through this skillfully told
and groundbreaking biography of a remarkable woman who
made a life for herself and became a leading light in her
century.
