About the Author
Stella Furlong has a BA (Hons) Upper 2nd. In Social Sciences from Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU), postgraduate research at York and Oxford Universities in Criminology/Deviance, an MA in Poverty Relief from Manchester Metropolitan University, a postgraduate diploma in Women’s Studies from the University of Kent at Canterbury and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, a chronic mental disability in her twenties before embarking on her university career. She is now 76.
Stella comes from a poor, rural, isolated, convent educated, background. The third of three daughters, she grew up in post War Britain, with the irony of a deprived yet privileged life through education, with all the class conflict that brings. She should have been socially mobile but the wheels fell off!
