Elizabeth Vogt is the Social Media and Digital Communications Manager for the National Women’s History Museum. She was previously the Associate Editor and Social Media Manager for Penguin Classics, where she spent nearly a decade amplifying women’s voices and sharing their stories, both in print and digitally. Her passion for women’s history began with a childhood love of 19th-century women writers—her focus of study at Syracuse University—and directly informed her decision to pursue the educational publishing space, as she witnessed firsthand the positive impact of young women learning from and being inspired by their foremothers. While at Penguin Classics, Elizabeth edited and published one-of-a-kind anthologies like The Women’s Suffrage Movement and Twelve Stories by American Women, as well as works by feminist writers and activists like Anna Julia Cooper, Zitkala-Ša, Matilda Joslyn Gage, Ida B. Wells, Rona Jaffe, Luisa Capetillo, Kate Chopin, Sarah Orne Jewett, Jovita Idar, and Elizabeth Garver Jordan. She also managed the Penguin Classics Instagram account, and built an online community of nearly half a million followers. In all of her work there is a clear throughline of women’s advocacy, and she’s thrilled to bring her extensive storytelling experience to NWHM. When she isn’t reading the works of her favorite literary ladies, she can be found hiking in the redwoods, planting native gardens for butterfly conservation, and planning her next trip to Japan.
