Goodbye Lynn Conway, You changed many of our lives but you will live forever in our circuits!

I was quite distressed to read that one of my great super heroes had died in Michigan on June 9, 2024.  While I had never met her personally, she helped me twice over.  First, She Co-Authored the "Introduction to VLSI Systems" in 1980  that gave many of us the tools to be serious players in the modern computer age.  Many of us enjoyed great careers and great incomes as a result of Lynn's work.  Secondly, I learned from her Stealth Living as I struggled  to accept my Intersex Body many years ago.  Lynn was a transgendered pioneer who generously and quietly shared her struggles and successes with those of us who needed to learn.  Her life was exciting, rewarding and fun and she shared it with anyone who was interested enough to follow her.  I know that many here on CDH have made their living in the computer world.  So perhaps Lynn inspired or helped you also and you maybe would like to share your story too.  Marg
