She holds an AHRC-funded PhD in design, media and women's history by the Manchester Institute for Research and Innovation in Art and Design, Manchester Metropolitan University. Her research concentrates on late nineteenth-century feminist periodicals, especially to the manner in which texts and paratexts (mainly design, visual and material) co-functioned in relation to gender politics, and other intersecting concepts such as class and ethnicity.
