Vivienne Harris (journalist)

Vivienne Harris MBE (née Hytner; 7 November 1921 – 4 March 2011) was a British businesswoman, newspaper publisher and journalist who co-founded the Jewish Telegraph in December 1950 with her husband, Frank Harris. The couple married in 1949. Quotes “ Life is better after 60. You know who you are, won’t put up with nonsense and there’s a confidence that comes with age". “ They refused me on the grounds that if a woman came to their house to sell it they would not take her seriously, and that the residential property industry is known to be a male‑orientated business. Actually, the second point is probably true even today!” “My company has been successful for the last 31 years – as they said in the film Pretty Woman, ‘Big mistake, huge!” “As the sole female owner and managing director, I hold a unique position in my area and I take this responsibility seriously”. “I love where I currently live in Hampstead Garden Suburb because it is picturesque, green and rural, yet close to Central London”.
