Women's Voices: Reinterpreting Historic House Museums
Using case studies including the Longfellow House in Cambridge, Otis House in Boston, and The House of the Seven Gables in Salem, I contributed a chapter in the book
Her Past Around Us: Interpreting Sites for Women's History that examined how historic house museums can include women's history in their tours and programs. (Krieger Publishing, 2003) This article is published at

From Historic House to Historic Home

Biographical Sketch: Judith Sargent Murray
I wrote the chapter on Judith Sargent Murray (1751-1820) for the book
Standing Before Us: Unitarian Universalist Women and Social Reform, 1776-1936. Judith Sargent Murray was one of the first Universalists in America (in Gloucester, Mass.) and the author of the earliest known writing by an American Universalist woman. By refusing to pay taxes to First Parish in favor of supporting their own church and minister, Judith Sargent Murray and other Gloucester Universalists won the first ruling in America for freedom of religion.
