Andrea G. Radke-Moss received her B.A. (1992) and M.A. (1995) in History from BYU, where she took classes from Tom Alexander, Ted Warner, Fred Gowans, Martha Bradley, Brian Cannon, and Bob Westover, emphasizing the history of the American West and Native American Studies, and with a smattering of Mormon history, but not enough to become a passion or even a hobby. At the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (PhD, 2002), Andrea focused on women’s history of the American West. Encouraged by mentors John Wunder and Charlene Porsild, she began dabbling in Mormon women’s history. Her first MHA paper on the Women of Zion’s Camp won the 1999 Juanita Brooks Award. At UNL, Andrea embraced the idea that Mormon women’s history is western women’s history. Her book, Bright Epoch: Women and Coeducation in the American West (2008) examined the experiences of female students at coeducational land-grant colleges, including the Utah Agricultural College. Andrea’s research covers topics in both western and Mormon women’s history, including homesteading, polygamy, suffrage, Relief Society/YWMIA leadership, and wartime violence. Her articles on women in the 1838 Mormon-Missouri War have earned the MHA Best Article Award (2015) and Best Article in Mormon Women’s History (2018). She currently researches western women’s participation at the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition, a project which first began with a study of Mormon/Utah women at the Chicago Fair. Andrea has presented papers, chaired and commented on many MHA panels, and served on the MHA Board as Membership Committee Chair and as a Nominating Committee member. She is most proud to be one of the first active members of the Mormon Women’s History Initiative Team (2004). She teaches at BYU-Idaho and lives in Rexburg with her husband, Stephen, and their two children.
