Professionally, she is best known for her role in revolutionizing microship design. Early in her career, she was fired from IBM in 1968 when she revealed her intent to transition under the care of Dr. Harry Benjamin. Following transition, she worked at Xerox PARC (Palo Alto Research Center) for many years before becoming a professor of electrical engineering and computer science at the University of Michigan. In 2000, Conway began to talk about her tranistion and earlier experiences through her website. The site grew to include a variety of informational resources on trans topics, a gallery of successful trans women and trans men, and records of her ongoing activism, including her campaign to challenge J. Michael Bailey's theory of "autogynephelia" and his associated 2003 book &lt;em&gt;The Man Who Would Be&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;Queen&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Included below are links to other information on Conway:&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
