My profound thanks go to the many people who made this book possible. This book began as a Ph.D. dissertation at Ohio State University, where Birgitte Søland nurtured the scholar in me and offered me guidance and support along the way. I’m grateful for her continued advice and counsel. In Norway, a community of scholars and friends created a warm and inclusive environment that encouraged historical inquiry and interdisciplinary and intercultural exchange. The Centre for Gender Research at the University of Oslo introduced me to colleagues both supportive and engaging during a year-long research stay. I am thankful for many enriching conversations with Gro Hagemann and Inger Elisabeth Haavet. The coffee breaks, glasses of wine and dinners I shared with Unn Conradi Andersen, Anne Bitsch, Greta Gober, Trine Rogg Korsvik, Joana Serrado, Stina Hansteen Solhøy and Rannveig Svendby made my stay in Norway not only productive but enjoyable. Thank you as well to Gitte Moen, Ingolf Grønvold, and Bi
