For Students & Educators

A Note for Educators

My novels have been taught in universities and high schools in courses ranging from history and literature to women’s studies and critical thinking. Some of my most rewarding conversations have been with students discovering these women, historical periods, and questions for the first time.

Professors, teachers, students, and book groups are welcome to use the resources gathered here.
If you are teaching one of my books and/or would like to inquire about a classroom visit, virtual conversation, or university appearance, please get in touch.
