Talks

The Courage Game has been chosen by many book clubs and I have had a number of requests to speak at these. I also talk to schools [usually to students of history or politics] and history societies.

I travel all over to deliver these talks, which go down very well. For instance, every school I have been to so far has asked me to return next year. I’ve even been to La Rochelle in France to talk to five schools there, where I talked more about the genesis of the book itself than the history of suffrage, and compared the French journey towards suffrage with that of the UK.

I was wracked with nerves before this one but the students [huge groups of between sixty and ninety-five] were charming and engaged and many stayed behind at the end of the talk to ask advice about writing. It was a wonderful trip.
