Katherine De Lorenzo is a writer of fiction and a lecturer at Hunter College, NY, currently working in Gender, LGBTQ, and Disability studies. Special areas of research are postmodern narratives that blend autography, documentary, witness testimony and historical elements. With the latter area as a foundation, the first of these two works is inspired by the lives of Laura Redden Searing and Marie Leneru, Deaf women who came to some prominence in the mid- and late-nineteenth century.
