Margaret Darrow is a modern European historian specializing in French social and women's history. Recently her work has focused on women and war — specifically French women in the Franco-Prussian War and the First World War. After receiving her PhD from Rutgers University, she joined the Dartmouth faculty in 1980. Her first book, Revolution in the House; Family, Class and Inheritance in Southern France, 1775-1825 (Princeton University Press, 1989) is a study of the impact of the French Revolution upon family relationships and practices, especially marriage and inheritance, in the early nineteenth century. Since that book, her research moved a century forward and resulted in the publication of French Women and the First World War: War Stories of the Home Front (Berg, 2000). Her current research explores French women's patriotism and citizenship at the end of the nineteenth century. A special issue of French Historical Studies in the spring of 2008 published part of this research as "'In the Land of Joan of Arc:' The Patriotic Education of Girls and the Prospects of War in the Early Third Republic." Professor Darrow is also a member of the faculty of the Gender and Women's Studies Program.
