With the hard-fought advancement of women towards equality in all aspects of society, including respect and safety feeling increasingly under threat, education has to be at the very heart of change.
It is vitally important that boys as well as girls see women’s stories, written texts, and points of view in all that they study from the earliest years until they leave education.
Louise writes historical fiction, focussed around unheard voices or from unusual perspectives.
Her novels have variously been shortlisted for literary awards, international best sellers, and translated into foreign languages.
Louise holds an MA in Creative Writing from St Mary’s University.
