A fascinating and honest life story. It starts as a story of a five year old clutching the hand of her nine year old sister, travelling from Vienna on a Kindertransport to escape the Nazis in 1939. Dame Stephanie describes how all that she is stems from that discontinuity in her life and how the trauma remains with her 75 years on. However, this is also a story of how she went on to embrace change and life in the UK, becoming a hugely successful early technology entrepreneur. Dame Stephanie Shirley, British information technology pioneer, businesswoman and philanthropist.
