Biography

I am a political theorist who is currently working on a book on how Mary Wollstonecraft and J.S. Mill shaped the development of the modern concept of women's human rights. I am editing a scholarly edition of Wollstonecraft's Vindication of the Rights of Woman (Yale, 2013). I also co-edited with Sarah Houser a scholarly edition of Hannah Mather Crocker's Reminiscences and Traditions of Boston (NEHGS Press, 2011).
