Platt Fisher Lecture

Bolton School Girls' Division's inaugural Platt Fisher Lecture - titled "Learning from Living" and presented by Dr Sheila Fisher (née Platt, Class of 1970). Life is an adventure to be lived to the full – that was the spirit of the 60s superwoman who could have it all. From Victorian village primary to Bolton School, shy girl to surgeon and mum, Sheila has lived through triumphs and disasters. She believes we all share common ground as we find our path. What matters most in our lives? What was it like to live and work in a career dominated by men? What has she learned – to live your dreams, endure the hard times and, above all, see if you can make a difference for good in our world.
