Lynn Conway, leading computer scientist and transgender pioneer, dies at 86
"It wasn’t merely her struggle to make her way in the male-dominated computer engineering world of the 1960s and 1970s. It was that she did so, with spectacular success, while contending with her own psyche, her family and her bosses at IBM to complete her transgender transition.
Conway died Sunday, according to her husband, Charles Rogers, at home in Jackson, Mich., of a heart condition."
