"The National Endowment for the Humanities announced this year’s recipients of $21.1 million in federally-funded grants earlier this month.
University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign history and women’s studies professor Tamara Chaplin will conduct the groundbreaking research into Gallic tomboy agitators.
