Claire Silverstone-Bright is a writer, criminologist, and speaker whose work explores the lifelong consequences of medical harm, institutional authority, and the pursuit of justice. As a DES daughter exposed in utero to diethylstilbestrol, Claire’s life and work have been shaped by the devastating intergenerational effects of a medical experiment conducted without consent. Her memoir, A Life Lived Chronically, serves as a narrative exploration of this legacy, examining what it means to live in a body marked by systemic betrayal and inherited harm. Through her writing and public speaking, she gives voice to the silence surrounding DES, addressing the profound impacts on identity, health, and trust in institutional systems. Bridging personal testimony with rigorous systemic critique, Claire also holds postgraduate qualifications in criminology and is currently completing a Professional Doctorate. Her research and professional practice focus on belief, digital rehabilitation, and post-carceral life. She is the creator of the No Bars podcast and works directly on accommodation and employment initiatives for prison leavers in the North of England. Based in London, Claire regularly speaks at academic and international conferences, working at the intersection of lived experience and justice to challenge the systems that move on while their consequences remain.
