Description

Dame Stephanie Shirley's extraordinary story is one of resilience and creativity. In 1962, she created a software company, employing women to work on complex projects from the comfort of their own homes. This pioneering venture not only thrived but also empowered a generation of women in technology, giving them unprecedented freedom and autonomy. Shirley's personal story is just as remarkable. Born as a refugee during World War Two, she survived a tragic loss and went on to become one of Britain's leading philanthropists. In her memoir, Let It Go, Shirley shares her incredible journey, from her early days as a freelancer to her current devotion to charities close to her heart. Co-written with Richard Askwith, Let It Go is an engrossing story of creativity, resilience, and the human spirit.
