New Ways Of Working (50 Years Ahead Of Time): Dame Stephanie Shirley CH
Remote work is not a new phenomenon. In 1962, Dame Stephanie “Steve” Shirley CH founded Freelance Programmers – a remote tech company that employed predominantly female programmers with dependants. Indeed, only 3 of the company’s first 300 employees were men – until the UK’s 1975 Sex Discrimination Act made that illegal, and they had to hire more men. It’s a fascinating story, and a timely reminder that remote work is not just a “second-best” option.
