Add Dame Stephanie "Steve" Shirley to names 

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.
