Wendy Raus

researcher

Wendy Raus is a noted researcher in women's history, known for her scholarly work that delves into the social dynamics and historical contexts of female relationships, particularly in the context of 19th-century America. Her analyses often explore the nuances of women's independence and social structures, including the concept of 'Boston marriages'—long-term partnerships between women that were common in the late 1800s. Raus's contributions to the field provide valuable insights into how these historical relationships have evolved and their relevance in contemporary discussions about gender and partnership.
