Such a pleasure telling the Yale Needs Women story tonight at Bank Square Books @bsb_savoy in Mystic, CT with Deb Tedford—who arrived at Yale in September 1969 as one of the first group of women undergrads.

@twitterstorians I am looking for work that examines the trend towards local history and antiquarianism during the 19th century in the United States but am not finding much. I know there must be something out there. Any help would be appreciated!

Wonderful to be joined at Denver’s Tattered Cover Bookstore @TatteredCover last night by Susan Cherniak Wei, Christine Citron, and Joanne Parsons Underhill—three Denver residents who, in 1969, were three of the first women undergraduates at Yale.
