Her research explores 19th-century gender dynamics through theatrical performance, focusing on how female celebrities navigated patriarchal structures in American theater. Her book Starring Women (University of Illinois Press, 2020) examines transatlantic theater culture and celebrity gender politics from 1790-1850. Current research includes Leg Show: Ballet, Burlesque, and Female Spectacle in the Civil War Era.
Dr. Lampert's 15 most recent publications cluster around gender performance in antebellum theater, celebrity culture analysis, and historical parallels to modern gender dynamics in entertainment.
