history.

Right now, I’m researching a book on policing and crime. I’ve worked on the activity anarchists in history, and written about them here, here, and here.

My first book, Modern Women in China and Japan: Gender and Global Modernity Between the Wars was released in 2012. It looks at what it meant to be a "modern woman" in the interwar period. I write about the lives of four women each in China and Japan. These women were writers and artists whose work reflects the enormous social changes taking place, and the development of interwar feminism.
