About

Welcome to History in High Heels! My name is Ashley and I have a PhD in early modern Italian history. I have worked in study abroad, I love to travel, and I am obsessed with all things fashion. I believe women should not have to sacrifice style for academic or intellectual legitimacy. I may not be Italian by blood, but after spending almost half my life there, I am Italian at heart! Thanks for stopping by!
