Emily is a recovering academic with an abiding passion for archaeology, antiquity and its aftermath, and everything queer. She has some degrees from Princeton and Notre Dame and can translate Sappho fragments for you. Once upon a time, Emily found Autostraddle while searching for articles on cutting off all of one’s hair and has never looked back. Follow ThisMedievalLyf on Twitter and find her at ekirkegaard.com.
Autostraddle has been doing independent queer journalism for 16+ years, and we rely on ad revenue to pay our gay team and writers. There are two ways to keep us going: let the ads through, or subscribe.
