Biography

Llewellyn was born on 18 March 1964 in Boise, Idaho, United States.[2]

She completed her B.A. from Carleton College in 1986.[2]

After teaching for three years, Llewellyn came across the work of John Holt, which led her to reconsider her approach to education.

In 1991, at age 26, she wrote The Teenage Liberation Handbook: How to Quit School and Get a Real Life and Education.[1]

Llewellyn published the Teenage Liberation Handbook through her publishing company, Lowry House Publishers.[2]
