About

Welcome to History in High Heels! My name is Ashley and I am a PhD candidate in early modern Italian history who works in study abroad, loves to travel, is obsessed with all things fashion, and who believes women should not have to sacrifice style for academic 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!
