Lynn Conway
Lynn Conway (born January 2, 1938)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Computer Pioneers - Lynn Conway )〕 is an American computer scientist, electrical engineer, inventor, and transgender activist.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://time.com/130734/transgender-celebrities-actors-athletes-in-america/ )〕
Conway is notable for a number of pioneering achievements, including the Mead & Conway revolution in VLSI design, which incubated an emerging electronic design automation industry. She worked at IBM in the 1960s and is credited with the invention of generalised dynamic instruction handling, a key advance used in out-of-order execution, used by most modern computer processors to improve performance.〔〔("Embracing Diversity – HP employees in Fort Collins, Colorado, welcome Dr. Lynn Conway" ), hpNOW, February 8, 2001.〕〔("Lynn Conway: 2009 Computer Pioneer Award Recipient" ), IEEE Computer Society, January 20, 2010.〕〔("Computer Society Names Computer Pioneers" ), IEEE Computer Society, January 20, 2010.〕〔, July 30, 2010.〕〔("Event: IBM ACS System: A Pioneering Supercomputer Project of the 1960s" ), Computer History Museum, February 18, 2010.〕〔("Computer History Museum Events: IBM ACS System: A Pioneering Supercomputer Project of the 1960s" ), Computer History Museum, February 18, 2010.〕〔("Historical Reflections: IBM's Single-Processor Supercomputer Efforts - Insights on the pioneering IBM Stretch and ACS projects" by M.

==Early life and education==
Conway grew up in White Plains, New York. Conway was shy and experienced gender dysphoria as a child. She became fascinated and engaged by astronomy (building a reflector telescope one summer) and did well in math and science in high school. Conway entered MIT in 1955, earning high grades but ultimately leaving in despair after an attempted gender transition in 1957-8 failed due to the medical climate at the time. After working as an electronics technician for several years, Conway resumed education at Columbia University's School of Engineering and Applied Science, earning B.S. and M.S.E.E. degrees in 1962 and 1963.〔Lynn Conway, "(Lynn Conway's Retrospective Part I: Childhood and education )," 9 February 2005.〕〔
