About Me

I am an adjunct professor in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. I have reviewed books for Women’s History Review, Frontiers Augmented, and Women and Social Movements in the United States. I am current member of the Center for Women’s History’s Early Career Workshop through the New York Historical Society. My research interests include woman suffrage, women’s political culture, and the Gilded Age and Progressive Era.
