Anne Gray Fischer is an assistant professor of U.S. gender and sexuality history at the University of Texas at Dallas. She works at the intersection of gender, sexuality, and race; law enforcement and the state; and feminist activisms in the twentieth-century United States. Her book, “The Streets Belong to Us: Sex, Race, and Police Power from Segregation to Gentrification” (University of North Carolina Press, 2022), documents how urban police departments consolidated and expanded their power through the enforcement of prostitution-related laws between Prohibition and the rise of broken windows policing in the 1980s. At UCHV, she will work on her second book, “Going Ballistic: A Concealed History of Feminism and Guns,” a history of armed feminists since the 1970s.
