​​Welcome!
Picture

​I am a scholar of modern U.S. women’s and gender history whose research connects political history, African American history, the history of U.S. imperialism, and the history of sexuality. My work centers on women’s involvement in social and political justice movements in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. I examine the lives of American women who challenged institutional power and its abuse, often at great cost to themselves, in order to claim the promises of American democracy.
