Professor Martz’s research interests include women’s history and gender studies, particularly women’s access to institutions and women’s activism, as well as the interface between religion and public life. She researches and publishes on nineteenth and early twentieth century British movements where these interfaces were significant, such as the Salvation Army and the militant suffrage movement, as well as on aspects of California’s regional religious culture during the same period, with a special interest in Pentecostalism and early Fundamentalism.
