About Me

Carrie Streeter is a scholar of U.S. history and a doctoral candidate at the University of California, San Diego. She specializes in the history of health, gender, and race.

Her dissertation, Wings to Their Heals: Mind-Body Medicine in the Era of the New Woman, examines the corporeal expertise that women created through their engagement with scientific theories of aesthetics, psychology, emotion, and physiology. She sometimes refers to this as the history of the New Woman’s “yoga.” It is certainly that, and much much more.

She has also completed extensive research on the Cone family, including the famous collectors Etta and Claribel Cone.
