For those who don't know, Dame Stephanie “Steve” Shirley was a British entrepreneur and philanthropist, famous for founding Freelance Programmers in 1962 - a pioneering software company that primarily employed women working from home, decades before remote work was normal.

She came to Britain as a child refugee via the Kindertransport in 1939.
