Thanks for inviting me to talk about #Women’sHistory with @andrealturpin.bsky.social

It was so much fun I think we could have kept talking all afternoon!
* Why study women's history?
* What kinds of unusual sources are used?
* How did higher ed change as more women enrolled?

Baylor History's Dr. Andrea Turpin & Amy Achenbach discuss these topics and more in celebration of #WomensHistoryMonth:

Thought I’d plan a *fun* little lecture on the recent past for the last day of modern American history but . . . the early 21st century is objectively depressing. Sorry students 😅
