Her dissertation investigated the role of the International Federation of University Women (IFUW) in the construction and promotion of a scientific persona for women in the course of the 20th century. Through an in-depth study of the selection process of the IFUW fellowship program and a collective biography of the fellows, she analysed the impact of the organization on women scientists’ careers and the expression of their credibility.
