Biography
I am a historian who researches primarily gender and business history in Australia and New Zealand.I have written two monographs and have co-edited a collection about female entrepreneurs across the globe in the long nineteenth century. My most recent book is Too Much Cabbage and Jesus Christ, a biography of Australian missionary, Annie Lock. I have a DECRA postdoctoral fellowship to write a history of Australian businesswomen since 1880. I am also writing a book about a series of post WW2 American World Youth Forums. https://catherinebishop.wixsite.com/history
