Victoria Ford Smith

---

Victoria Ford Smith (she/her) explores cultural constructions of childhood, the lived experiences of children, and young people’s participation in the arts in the 19th and 20th centuries. In other words, she writes about children (mostly those who were living around 1900), the things those children did (like invent secret languages and draw pictures that the modernists tried to steal), and the ways adults write about the things those children did. She is an amateur but enthusiastic cyclist and avid cross-stitcher with very neat handwriting.
