Kate Hamilton is a professor of English at a university where she teaches literature, literary theory, and women’s writing. She has published numerous books and dozens of academic articles and chapters on a wide array of authors, and she has given talks and keynote speeches about literature, pedagogy, and sexual violence at conferences and workshops throughout the US and in Europe. Her first trade publication, Mad Wife, uses these decades of work on literature and sexual violence to clarify her own dark past and illuminate clearer paths forward for other women.
