I am a third year doctoral student studying Women’s and Gender History. My area of study is women’s activism in the mid- to late 19th century, with a focus on women’s bicycling practices. I see my project as a study of feminism, the body, public space and consumer culture, speaking to scholarship within women’s and gender history as well as the history of sport. I am particularly interested in furthering my study of race and class in women’s bicycling as well as the history of women’s cycling clubs. My research interests also include the history of medicine, feminist theory and pedagogy, and transnational feminisms.
