My book, Praising Girls: The Rhetoric of Young Women, 1895-1930, was published by Southern Illinois
University Press in 2016. I co-edited In the Archives of Composition:Writing and Rhetoric in High Schools and Normal Schools, which was
released by the University of Pittsburgh Press in 2015. The Kansas City Public Library features my article on African American activist Lucile Bluford on its website, The Pendergast Years: Kansas City in the Jazz Age & Great Depression.
My work also has appeared in American Periodicals, Rhetoric Review, and Feminist Challenges or Feminist Rhetoric? Locations, Scholarship, Discourse (Cambridge Scholars, 2014). I won the 2012 Rhetoric Society of America Dissertation Award. In my previous career, I was a reporter for the Kansas City Star, and for a newspaper and city magazine in Dallas. When I am not teaching or writing, I like to cook, travel, walk my Australian shepherd, watch sports with my husband, Alan Wood, and hang out with my two daughters, Tessa Wood, who works for Cerner Corporation in Kansas City, and Adrienne Wood, a doctoral student in psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
