Books

'A Vindication of the Rights of Women: with Strictures on Political and Moral subjects' by Mary Wollstonecraft: One of the earliest examples of feminist text from 1792, on my to-read list!
'Strong Female Protagonist' by Brennan Lee Mulligan and Molly Ostertag: Highly addictive online comic
Deborah Harkness's Favourite Books with Brainy Heroines (Good Reads)
The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage by Sydney Padua: A webcomic also available in a snazzy hardback based on the premise...what if Ada Lovelace survived into her 40s and convinced Charles Babbage to build the Difference Engine...and used it to fight crime?! Beautifully drawn, full of engineering puns and an excellent (and heavily referenced) insight into the mind of 'the world's first computer programmer'- read it all now!
