Sharon is a feminist historian, researcher, and writer who specializes in the life and times of Mary Ware Dennett (1872-1947), one of the most pivotal leaders of the early women’s rights movement in the U.S. In 2020, Dennett was included by Time Magazine as one of the nine most important women in American history that everyone should know. She curates the Dennett family archive and received a grant from Radcliffe College’s Schlesinger Library to support her work.
Her essays about Dennett have appeared in Smithsonian (digital), Ms., and New Hampshire magazines. She also publishes a monthly newsletter, Women Make History: Stories We Should Have Learned in School, that highlights the forgotten stories of remarkable women. She speaks to women’s, business, and civic groups about these historical mentors.
Sharon lives outside of Salt Lake City with her husband and her black lab, Hank.
