Heard a talk from Dame Stella Rimington yesterday (the character 'M' is based on in the Bond films) at a Security Conference I attended.
She was talking about her time in MI5, the challenges she had to go through being a women in a male dominated environment, cold war, war on terrorism, being a mother, relocating once the government decided to make public who was running the MI5 department. A member of the audience asked how she felt about the 'M' character being modeled on her and she replied "very flattered".
Amazing woman and highly recommend her autobiography 'Open Secret' which was published shortly after 9/11.
