‘I don’t want to settle for anyone, I love my job, the education business, a busy home. People don’t want just one partner, they were all single. There is a rule of not doing harm’.
She continued: ‘The rules of the societies were very different and if a woman had a child without being married, it was horrible.
“I went to Cambridge [University] at 17 and my mom sat me down and told me that I had to think about settling down to get married.
