Dame Shirley Ida Conran (; 1932–2024) was a British author, designer, journalist and social entrepreneur.

After her marriage to Terence Conran with whom she worked as a designer and sales director at Conran Fabrics, she became women's editor of ''The Observe''r and the ''Daily Mail'', launching its Femail section. After a serious illness left her with ME, making it difficult for her to work, she wrote best-selling books including the feminist self-help ''Superwoman'' (1975) and the bonkbuster ''Lace'' (1982).

In later life, she campaigned and founded charities to encourage maths education for women. For this, she was made a Dame and received the honour in hospital, just a week before she died. Provided by Wikipedia
