Her thesis, "Sacrificing Our Daughters: Changing Perceptions of Prostitution in Iowa, 1880-1915," was the 2014 winner of the Iowa History Center's Outstanding Master's Thesis Award. Currently, Hope is the assistant coordinator of the Iowa State University Digital Repository at Parks Library, but she spends her free time tracing the history of Iowa's red-light districts and disreputable women.lihat lebih sedikit
