I've written book reviews for literary magazines about feminism in classical scholarship, Jane Austen's influence on 50 Shades of Grey, and the ancient roots of 'best of the year' lists.

Not All Tragedians

(Eidolon 4/27/2015)

Greek tragedy and comedy were written by men and performed by men for a male audience. So can studying Greek drama ever truly be a feminist endeavor?

Persuasion

(Avidly 2/20/2015)

I argue that 50 Shades of Grey as a modern version of Pride and Prejudice and explore how each the two was received in its own time.
