Professor Ellen DuBois is one of the founders of the field of U.S. women’s history, with a prolific publishing history that features prize-winning monographs, leading textbooks, and pioneering anthologies. Virtually every one of her major publications has been path-breaking, ushering in a rebirth of women’s history in the 1970s and helping to engineer the tremendous impact that this field has had on U.S. history.  Her published works include: Suffrage:  Women’s Long Battle for the Vote; Feminism and Suffrage:  The Emergence of an Independent Women’s Movement in America, 1848-1869; Harriot Stanton Blatch and the Winning of Woman Suffrage; Through Women’s Eyes:  An American History with Documents (co-authored with Lynn Dumenil); Unequal Sisters:  An Inclusive Reader in U.S. Women’s History (co-edited with Vicki Ruiz);  and A Passionate Life:  Writings by and About Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay (which she co-wrote with Vinay Lal).  Her talk for CGIS this upcoming Thursday (October 13, 2022), centers on this latter work on the Indian social reformer and activist Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay.

All welcome!
