Carolyn Eichner Research Assistance

Carolyn Eichner is pleased to have received a Research Assistance Fund grant to cover the cost of professionally indexing her forthcoming book, Feminism’s Empire (Cornell University Press, June 2022). Feminism’s Empire examines the first late 19th-century French feminists to engage imperialism, and to develop multiple critical approaches to existing empires. Ranging from anarchist to monarchist, these activists shaped both feminisms and imperialisms through their ideological commitments and their embodied experiences in metropolitan France, and in colonial contexts including New Caledonia, Algeria, Turkey, Russia, and the American West.
