In this moving memoir, one of the most inspirational women of our times tells her own uplifting story and explains why giving her wealth away – letting it go – has brought her infinitely more happiness and fulfilment than acquiring it in the first place.
A child refugee who at five years old came to England without her parents on the Kindertransport, Dame Stephanie – or Steve as she likes to be known as – went on to found an all-woman software company in the early 1960s, that pioneered remote working and redefined the expectations and opportunities for working women at that time. It was ultimately valued at almost $3 billion and made 70 of her staff millionaires.
During the 1960s, Steve was also raising her son Giles, who was profoundly autistic. He ended up spending 11 years in a psychiatric hospital setting, and it was this that drove her to set up her first charity – Autism at Kingwood, which provided a caring supported living home in the small Oxfordshire village of Kingwood.
“An extraordinary tale of creativity and resilience.”The Guardian
