- About Me
I am a lecturer at the University of Toledo, teaching in both the history and women and gender studies departments. My current manuscript focuses on conservative women and the Equal Rights Amendment, arguing that the divergent ways conservative women conceptualized their womanhood determined their stance on the Equal Rights Amendment. I’ve also done work on the suffrage movement, and the connection between popular culture and conservative politics in the 1980s and 1990s.
