Dale DeBakcsy has spent the last quarter of a century collecting stories from forgotten corners of history and bringing them to life. In 2013, he founded the Women in Science Archive as a permanent home for rigorous but readable profiles of the great women scientists of yesterday and today, many of which have found their way into the four collections of Trailblazing Women in STEM books he has written for Pen & Sword. His other great interest is in the realm of intellectual history, particularly how cultural movements interface with the large-scale social structures of their eras. To this end, he has written about the history of philosophy (Godless Nerdistry, A Cartoon History of Humanism), music (A History of Women in Music), and literature (Trembling Innocents and Lonely Nurses: A History of the Romance Novel). His most recent title is an analysis of all of Elton John's albums (Elton John: Album By Album), the culmination of 35 years of being an Elton superfan. When not writing or teaching, Dale can be found at home with his wife, cat, and chicken in Castro Valley, California, and every so often on the plains of Azeroth, doing the just business of the Horde.
