Lecturer: Elizabeth Cobbs, a historian, novelist, and documentary filmmaker, is also a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. She specializes in US foreign relations and also writes more broadly on world and American history for the general public. She wrote articles for the The New York Times, The Jerusalem Post, Los Angeles Times, and is also credited as screenwriter on the film adaptation of her book American Umpire.

The Hello Girls: America’s First Women Soldiers is the story of how America’s first women soldiers helped win World War I, earned the vote, and fought the U.S. Army.

"Dr. Cobbs has been engaged in historical research for more than 30 years. She has also devoted herself to the fictional and non-fictional creation of historical subjects at the same time as academic research. She is adept at viewing history and reality in a very surprising and unique perspective. I believe her lecture will bring you a refreshing experience.”  –Executor of the lecture, Kang Xueping
