She is currently working on a book manuscript, tentatively titled Feminism Before Feminism: Boccaccio After Beauvoir. The book places feminist thinkers such as Simone de Beauvoir, Judith Butler, Adriana Cavarero, and Audre Lorde in conversation with Boccaccio and other early modern writers, showing how theories of gender shaped the early modern world and how early modern works can shed light on the central questions that concern feminists still today. “Domesticating Philosophy: Dante’s Women in Boccaccio,” Mediaevalia, vol. 42, 2021, p. 269-297.
