Research Interests
My dissertation, “Confronting the Fascist Menace: The Politics of British Women’s Activism at Home and Abroad, 1918-1945” analyzes the impact fascism had on the British feminist movement before and during the Second World War. I argue that British feminists, who dominated the leadership roles of international women’s organizations in this period, identified fascism as the single largest threat to women’s rights in this period. My project illustrates how the threat of fascism united the activism of these women across organizational and political lines, regardless of their nationality, marital status, religion, or politics.
