Ada Lovelace, who worked with Charles Babbage Analytical Engine. Her notes on the engine include what is recognized as the first algorithm intended to be processed by a machine. Because of this, she is often considered the world's first computer programmer.
This is also why the programing language ADA was named, in her honor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace
