About Lorissa Rinehart Books
Lorissa Rinehart is a women's historian, author, and speaker who brings the past to life with fresh urgency. Her work dives into the powerful crossroads of women's history, politics, and war, uncovering the stories that have too often been left out of the spotlight. She's the author of First to the Front and Winning the Earthquake. Each week on her Substack and podcast, The Female Body Politic, Lorissa unpacks today's headlines through the lens of 250 years of women's political power in America. She holds an MA in Experimental Humanities from NYU and a BA in Literature from UC Santa Cruz, and is passionate about making history feel prescient, inclusive, and impossible to ignore.
