Professor Angela Smith has recently had an article published in the George Orwell Studies Journal. In her article, Angela looks at the context of Eileen O’Shaughnessy’s education at Sunderland Church High School, and argues that the progressive head teacher, Miss Ethel Ironside, was partly responsible for Eileen’s future life as wife and editor of Orwell’s work.
