Barbara Overton Evans Newman

I got an M.A. and Ph.D. in Russian history from Duke, then worked for 29 years as a professor at the University of Akron. I'm the author of 3 books and co-editor of 2 on the history of women in Russia. I retired in 2000 and moved to my husband's home town in Washington. Now we split our time between Washington and Tucson, AZ

My best memories are of working on The Jeffersonian and on the school plays.

Writing, gardening, duplicate bridge, photography, travel
