Research
My research explores the transference of women's feelings about themselves and their circumstance to their political and cultural work, particularly women involved in the 1970s debate over the Equal Rights Amendment. I focus on emotion as a tool to understand memory formation within the women's liberation movement and to parse the resulting tensions of those bonds and fractures that still rest at the core of 21st century partisan divides in the U.S.
