I read her whole retrospective last summer and it was the story that made me feel like I not only had a place as a trans woman in science, but could be ambitious as well! Retrospective: https://ai.eecs.umich.edu/people/conway/RetrospectiveT.html

It also so charming to see other trans people here on hacker news celebrating Lynn Conway. I didn't know there were so many of us here!
