Lisa Tetrault is Associate Professor at Carnegie Mellon University’s Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences Department of History. She specializes in the history of U.S. women and gender, and her research and teaching focus on the history of social movements, particularly feminism, and the politics of memory. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Department of History. Her first book, The Myth of Seneca Falls: Memory and the Women's Suffrage Movement, 1848-1898, won the Organization of American Historians' inaugural Mary Jurich Nickliss women's history book prize.

She has also received funding from the Huntington Library, the Schlesinger Library, the Sophia Smith Collection and many others.
