Eloise Rickman

Her most recent book It’s Not Fair: why it’s time for a grown-up conversation about how adults treat children (June 2024, Scribe) offers a practical manifesto for children’s liberation. It’s Not Fair argues that children’s resistance and struggle for equality has been largely ignored by the wider social justice movement, and that it’s time to stop viewing children as less than adults and start fighting for their rights to be taken seriously.

Her first book Extraordinary Parenting: the essential guide to parenting and educating at home (May 2020, Scribe) provides clear, practical advice on parenting whilst navigating a changing and uncertain world.She writes the newsletter Small Places, which focuses on parenting, education, children’s rights, and children’s liberation.

Born in Brighton, she has been educated at Cambridge University and at UCL’s Institute of Education, and currently lives in London.
