Antidiscrimination measure of 1990, in brief (3)

I believe the answer is:

ada

(Other definitions for ada that I've seen before include "Programming language" , "Computer lang.; f. name" , "Woman" , "- Lovelace, Byron's daughter & computer pioneer" , "-- Lovelace, pioneer in computing" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
