From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
New contributor interested in history (especially women's history and queer history), literature, and historical nonfiction books. I'm very lucky to have access to an excellent library system, and I like working with scholarly sources, primary sources, and historical periodicals. One of my favorite rabbit hole activities is trawling databases and catalogs, finding sources, and then mining their bibliographies to find even more sources, often older and more obscure. You'll probably see me working on women's articles, adding references to unsourced articles, and adding sections about archives, oral histories, and other primary sources. I'm currently working on a series of articles about print cultures during second-wave feminism.
Articles I've created
