Born in Germany, she had to flee on the kindertransport to England in 1939. In the 1950s she worked at the Post Office Research Station at Dollis Hill, building computers from scratch, and took evening classes to get a degree in Mathematics. In 1962 she set up a software company, employing almost entirely women, working at home; the company was floated in 1996. Her team's projects included programming Concorde's black box flight recorder. She adopted the name "Steve" to fit in in a male domainated world. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b05pmvl8 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Shirley Signed-off-by: Justin Cormack <justin.cormack@unikernel.com> Upstream-commit: 4c530894f94069c14c872c4b2d0ebfb10c86466a Component: engine
