3 December 2020 Melinda Gates My background was computer science and business school, so eventually I worked my way up where I was running product groups – development, testing, marketing, user education.
3 December 2020 Mary Wesley I was sent to a finishing school, which didn’t last long when mother found out how badly chaperoned we were. Then I ‘came out’ before going to a domestic science school.
