Tiffany Aldrich MacBain

Tiffany Aldrich MacBain is a nineteenth-century Americanist whose areas of interest include life writing, Indigenous literatures, and national mythologies. She enjoys archival research and has worked extensively with the diaries and letters of Abby Williams Hill (1861-1943), a professional landscape painter and avid writer whose travel and wilderness excursions challenged conventional notions of femininity and motherhood in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Professor MacBain’s publications include “The Wild Work of Gender Play in the Journals of Abby Williams Hill” (Tulsa Studies in Women’s Literature) and “‘Make a Picture of Yourself’: Indigenous Portrayals in the Reservation Diaries of Abby Williams Hill” (forthcoming with Legacy).
