Miki Pfeffer holds a PhD in Urban History and focuses on the culture of women. Her Southern Ladies and Suffragists won a Eudora Welty prize, and A New Orleans Author in Mark Twain’s Court: Letters from Grace King’s New England Sojourns brought her into Twain scholarship. She subscribes to the adage that “historians are people who like to read other people’s mail” and continues to transcribe all correspondence of Grace King and family. She is a visiting scholar at Nicholls State University.
