I Will Be the Woman He Loved

Who are we when we lose what defines us?



One of the first women CEOs in tech, in this, her fourth and most personal memoir, Tania Romanov chronicles her search for a new identity after the end of her career and the loss of her soulmate, her husband Harold. Over a two-week walk along England's Thames Path, Tania reflects on her love story with Harold and their battle against cancer-reflections that reveal a lifelong fight to be herself.



A child immigrant ostracized for being a "Communist" and a white girl at a mostly Black school, in I Will Be the Woman He Loved Tania revisits past lives, loves, and lessons. She recounts her challenges as a trailblazer in a pre-#MeToo, male-dominated workplace, as well as the joys of her adventures with Harold. All the while, she struggles to come to terms with a future very different from what she imagined-one in which she must rediscover her love of life and redefine herself yet again.
