Daphna Oren-Magidor

Historian of Gender and the Family in Early Modern Britain and Europe

I am a historian of Early Modern Britain and Europe, specializing in the gender history, the history of medicine and the history of the family.

I am a Project Manager at the Dan David Prize.

I received a Gerda Henkel Scholarship, to work on a project entitled "Sisterhood in Early Modern England". A book based on this project is currently under contract with Routledge.

In 2017, I published Infertility in Early Modern England (Palgrave-MacMillan). The book explores infertility and fertility problems not only as medical conditions but as social and cultural problems. In doing so, it highlights the specific ways in which medicine, religion, and the gendered social order interacted around problems of fertility and reproduction.

I earned my PhD in History from Brown University in 2012, after which I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, first in the department of History and then in the Martin Buber Society of Fellows in the Humanities and Social Sciences.

I am a fellow of the Royal History Society (FRHist).
