Main Talk: Dr. Fishman is the Moores Professor of History at the University of Houston specializing in 20th century France with a particular focus on women, gender and family life. Her first two books focused on World War II. More recently she's been diving deep into the postwar decades, currently finishing a book, Bridges to Feminism: Marcelle Auclair, Marcelle Ségal and Women’s Magazines in Twentieth-Century France, coming out in 2025. This talk draws on the research for her latest book.
