Party for the Pioneer, Dame Stephanie Shirley 

Dame Stephanie Shirley has just celebrated her 90th birthday and the Brent Women of Renown project team salute her on this joyous occasion. In her words “I’ve done more in the eight decades since that miserable day when my mother put me on a train, than I would ever have believed possible. I decided to make my life one that had been worth saving…. And then just got on with it.”

The Brent school children we have worked with are in awe of Dame Stephanie for many facets of her life.
