Her essay, “‘Equipt herself in the habit of a man’: Exposing Empire in the Female Spectator,” won the ASECS Graduate Student Research Essay Prize and was published last fall in Early Modern Women: An Interdisciplinary Journal. Her writing can be found in Eighteenth-Century Studies, The Eighteenth Century: Theory and Interpretation, Twenty First-Century Digital Editing & Publishing (Scottish Universities Press), Eighteenth-Century Fiction, Lumen, The Eighteenth-Century Common, and Creative Nonfiction Magazine.
