Description
A moving memoir from a woman who arrived in England as an unaccompanied Kindertransport refugee during World War Two, going on to make a fortune in a man's world before giving it all away. In 1962, Stephanie 'Steve' Shirley created a software company when the concept of software barely existed and freelance programmers employed women to work on complex projects such as Concorde's black box recorder from the comfort of their own home. The business thrived and she gradually transferred ownership to her staff, creating 70 millionaires in the process. She is now one of Britain's leading philanthropists, devoting most of her time, energy and wealth to charities that are close to her heart.
