☆ Lynn Conway, Computing Pioneer and Transgender Advocate, Dies at 86

Her husband, Charles Rogers, said she died in a hospital from complications of two recent heart attacks. In 1968, after leaving IBM, Ms. Conway was among the earliest Americans to undergo gender reassignment surgery. But she kept it a secret, living in what she called “stealth” mode for 31 years out of fear of career reprisals and concern for her physical safety. She rebuilt her career from scratch, eventually landing at the fabled Xerox PARC laboratory, where she again made important contributions in her field. After she publicly disclosed her transition in 1999, she became a prominent transgender activist.

Indeed, creative, mission-driven and prestigious jobs often take advantage of employees’ love for what they do. This stems from bosses’ tacit assumptions that their employees would do the work even if they weren’t paid. The idea that employees work for something other than money is also pervasive in industries that are geared toward helping people, such as education. “Teaching is a calling,” tweeted Mayor Eric Adams of New York City a few weeks ago. When a workplace is seen as virtuous, she claimed, it’s easier for workers to be exploited.
