Women in History
It’s been many years since I was in Louisville, Kentucky. This past weekend, I had the wonderful opportunity to go to the Louisville Zoo with my husband, children, and my sister to see the Chinese lanterns. It was fantastic! There were many to see, but Lady Liberty was my favorite 🗽
Bonnie Parker’s name is synonymous with crime. She participated in bank robberies, auto theft, and murder, alongside her partner in crime, Clyde Barrow. She did not start her life with such low pursuits, but instead had bright ambitions for herself. However, the Bonnie the world has come to know is a dark contrast of what she had originally intended to be – a shining success. My newest article is below!
It’s Women’s History Month! There are many personalities that can be focused on, however, I have opted to spotlight a few women who are known for their darker contributions. This is a project that will span far past the month of March, but I figured this month was a good place to start. It’s tempting to singularly concentrate on women who made positive and inspiring acts, but it’s equally important to discuss women whose actions were heinous and at times, downright barbaric. Their actions and conquests caused a massive rippling effect that changed the lives around them and the course of history as well. They are the ‘Bad Girls’ of history. Stay tuned!
Writing for The Historian’s Magazine is truly a thrill. While I tend to focus primarily on women’s history, this magazine provides opportunities to indulge in other parts of history as well. In this newly published edition, I discuss the polytheistic culture in ancient Greece. My article can be found on pages 20-21.

Happy February, all
My newest article is available on my Medium page and website! This month, I chose to focus on my favorite First Lady, Abigail Adams. There are personalities in which words truly fall short when trying to describe their person and contributions, and she is indeed one of them. However, even if words fall short, she deserves the spotlight. The United States benefitted from her political contributions, which began in her home when she firmly aligned herself with her husband in unwavering support. I hope you enjoy reading my article below!
Honestly, there aren’t enough words to describe how amazing and essential Dolley Madison is to United States history and women’s history. She was truly a force to be reckoned with and proved how influential she could be on numerous occasions. She was even recognized for her networking skills and political savviness when her husband, James Madison ascended to the presidency. I hope you enjoy reading about Dolley!
Happy New Year, all! I love January. It’s the starting point for new experiences and opportunities. It’s a time to stride forward and make plans, and a reminder that it’s ok to invest in bettering ourselves and in our interests. There are many new and exciting opportunities coming up this year that I can’t wait to share. Cheers to 2023! It’s going to be great!
My article about Harriet Tubman and her Combahee Ferry Raid is published in the Historian’s Magazine! (Page 18). She joined the Union Army and began work as an Army nurse, caring for the war’s wounded. Later, she was given the order to organize a network of spies and informants. She was tasked with gaining Confederate intelligence and reporting to her military superiors. The information Harriet supplied helped thwart the plans of the Confederate Army by intercepting gun powder barrels that were intended to use on Union supply lines and ships, along with other Confederate military plans. Her ability to mentally store essential information for the Union despite that she was illiterate, made her a valuable asset to the Union and the cause of abolition. She led a raid against the Combahee Ferry rice plantation in June 1863, which would prove to be devastating to the large plantation and the Confederacy. I hope you enjoy the article!
