An 85-year-old tech entrepreneur who made her staff millionaires

My first job had been working in computing at the Post Office Research Station in Dollis Hill where there were two pay scales – one for men and one for women. I studied for six years, taking evening classes, to gain a degree in mathematics, working my way up through my first role at the Post Office, moving to a technology firm – CDL Ltd, the designers of the ICT 1301 computer in 1959. That same year I founded Freelance Programmers and, slowly, my business started turning, even if it was against the tide – at that point, in the 1960s, women couldn’t legally drive a bus or even open a bank account without their husband’s permission.
