This site began initially in 2001 with a research essay I wrote on my grandmother's life, and I have now included various other pieces of writing and information about my research and related projects, and other interests.  My background is in Sociology and Women's Studies.

Websites

If any visitors to this website have a copy Jessica Valenti's book, The Purity Myth, that they are finished with and wouldn't mind donating, I would appreciate having a copy, for the purpose of writing a book review.  Sexuality - changes in sexual norms in the last few decades - is a subject I have researched and am still very interested in.  Please send to me at 1-186 College Ave, Oshawa, Ontario. L1J 1R4. Thank you for your help.  (May 1, 09)
