Grace Filby graduated with honours from Keele University as a science teacher in 1974. After establishing a new science department in a middle school, then a small independent publishing company and raising a family, she returned to education and developed expertise with children who have special needs, including gifted children. Awarded ill health retirement in 2000, Grace then had the freedom to explore her interest in British heritage and the arts. She was consulted for the revision of the Equal Treatment Bench Book regarding equality, justice and disability. Returning to a fascination with microbiology and phage therapy since student days, Grace travelled extensively overseas to find recent developments in treating and preventing infections, enabled by a prestigious Winston Churchill Travelling Fellowship Award. She is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and a contributor to a forthcoming military history publication on Women in War, with her chapter entitled "Women who Thawed the Cold War".
