About the author
Elizabeth Gregory directs the Women's, Gender & Sexuality Studies Program at the University of Houston and teaches in the English Department.
Her current projects explore the dynamics of contemporary birth timing, the economics and politics of women’s work—in the home and outside it, and the later poetry of Marianne Moore.
