MICHELLE CHASE is assistant professor of history at Pace University. Her first book, Revolution within the Revolution: Women and Gender Politics in Cuba, 1952–1962 (University of North Carolina Press, 2015), challenged longstanding assumptions about women's top-down liberation within the Cuban Revolution and showed that women activists themselves pressed the revolutionary leadership for inclusion and redress. With Isabella Cosse, she coedited "Revolutionary Positions," a special issue of Radical History Review (January 2020) dedicated to the global impact of the Cuban Revolution on ideas and practices of gender and sexuality. She is currently conducting research for a new book manuscript on the transnational influence of the Cuban Revolution.
