About the Author

Annie Calabro

Annie is a junior History major in pre-law track from Philadelphia, PA. At Boston College, she spends her time volunteering with EagleMUNC and the Student Admissions Program. Outside of school, Annie enjoys baking, a passion she discovered during quarantine and travelling, with a bucket list goal of visiting all 50 states before she turns 50. History has been her favorite subject ever since she was able to read, with one of her favorite birthday presents from her childhood being a history encyclopedia. Throughout high school and college, she has established her love of European history, particularly the French Revolution, and the evolution of the feminist movement, both of which are the focus of her paper.
