Author Nan Sloane brings to light forgotten female heroes of history, many of whom played a part in developing political ideas and freedoms as we know them today, and dissecting why they have frequently been pushed into asides or footnotes, dismissed as secondary, or spoken over, for, or through by men and sometimes other women.

Nan is an author, trainer and speaker with an interest in the role of women in the public space, particularly in politics and the Labour Party. An experienced trainer and facilitator, she has worked both in the UK and abroad, delivering workshops and training courses from the Balkans to Botswana on subjects such as political development and leadership skills. She lives in Leeds, and is a long-standing Leeds United season ticket holder.

Nan Sloane’s latest book, Uncontrollable Women: Radicals, Reformers and Revolutionaries, is a history of radical, reformist and revolutionary women between the outbreak of the French Revolution in 1789 and the passing of the Great Reform Act in 1832. In this book, these women take centre stage in both their own stories and those of others, and in doing so bring different voices to the more familiar accounts of the period.
