Former director of the Public History Program at UM, Professor Anya Jabour, wrote an article, “It’s Up to the Women,” for the Eleanor Roosevelt Historic Site.

Like many women at the time, ER struggled with finding her way in a world dominated by men, and Jabour explores that in the context of feminism in the early 19th century. Read the article here.
