She completed a PhD at the University of York in 2004, then taught in the Department of English Literature at Sheffield University till taking up her post at Hertfordshire in 2007. She is known for her research on eighteenth century literature and science with a particular emphasis on the role of women and botany.[1]

In the field of feminist botany she is best known for her book Botany, sexuality, and women's writing 1760-1830 : from modest shoot to forward plant (2007), following in the steps of Londa Schiebinger and Ann Shteir[11] in the field of gender and science, detailing the exclusion of women from botany after Linnaeus' classification was published in English (1783–1785),[12] because the sexual reproduction of plants was considered harmful to 'female modesty'.[13][14][15][16][17] Since then she has continued to research and publish on the intersections of literature, women and science, and in particular botany.
She has been Reviews Editor for Literature for the Journal of Eighteenth Century Studies.
