My book, Her Cold War: Women in the US Military, 1945-1980, will be published by UNC Press in September 2021. It examines the integration of womanpower into the US military after World War II through the dissolution of the women’s service components in the late 1970s. I focus on military service as a career opportunity, as the US military was one of the first places to offer women equal pay and benefits. My book considers the limitations of equality and how women worked to redefine equality on their own terms.
I moved into secondary education after finishing my PhD in 2011; I teach US and modern world history to students at MICDS in St. Louis, Missouri.
