Hannah Lawrance (1795 – 20 November 1875 in Barnsbury Park, Middlesex) was an English historian and journalist.
[1] Lawrance contributed articles to Household Words and Blackwood's Magazine and reviewed historical works for The Athenaeum.
For Hood's Magazine she wrote "historical tales set in various periods of English history".
"[4] Her emphasis on women's contribution to public life complemented the Whig-nationalist narrative and secured her a high reputation across a range of political periodicals.
Above all, it appealed to other liberal reformers such as Thomas Hood, Charles Wentworth Dilke, and Robert Vaughan, who shared Lawrance's commitment to social reform and helped to secure a wide audience for her historical perspective.
