Biography
DuBois became interested in history while in her senior year of high school.[1] She earned a B.A. from Wellesley College in 1968 and a Ph.D. from Northwestern University in 1975.[1] DuBois became interested in the women's liberation movement while she was a graduate student and started working with the Chicago Women's Liberation Union.[2][3] Her interest in the movement led to her becoming "one of the early pioneers of women's history," according to People's World.[2] Her work focused on the importance of formal politics and women's history.[4]
After teaching at the University at Buffalo for 16 years, she moved to Los Angeles to continue teaching at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).[5] She retired from UCLA in 2017.[2]
In 1998 she won the Joan Kelly Memorial Prize of the American Historical Association for her book about Harriot Stanton Blatch, Harriot Stanton Blatch and the Winning of Woman Suffrage (Yale University Press, 1997).[6]
