Women's History
People often come up to me and say, “Oh, you’re the women’s history person.”
Guilty as charged!
I have been involved in women’s history as a student, author, or public educator for over 20 years, and I continue to find it inspirational, thought provoking, and incredibly relevant to us today. I delight in telling women’s stories, especially while walking through their historic neighborhoods or visiting their homes.
I have served as executive director of the Boston Women’s Heritage Trail, I created a similar trail in Salem, Massachusetts, I was president of the Sargent House Museum in Gloucester, Massachusetts (Judith Sargent Murray’s home), and I am the acknowledged expert on Murray. I have worked with historic sites to reinterpret their tours for women’s history, I currently serve on the board of the National Collaborative for Women’s History Sites, and I am creating a display on Margaret Fuller for her Bicentennial year in 2010.
