My new book on married women's economic rights in the US states is now out! You can order your copy here: https://cup.columbia.edu/book/in-her-own-name/9780231199674

If you'd like to assign this to students, I'd be delighted to Zoom into your class and/or help select specific sections or chapters. Probably most relevant for classes on APD, gender and politics, political economy, and state politics.

Or, if you don't have time for a book in your syllabus, you can find links to podcasts, blog posts, etc.: http://portfolio.du.edu/Sara.Chatfield/page/131830
