Caroline is a writer, teacher and performer. She has done stand-up and improv comedy, and has played everything from angry Shakespearean women to crazy Durangian brides (at the Loeb Experimental Theatre and at Stanford University). Her work also has been heard on National Public Radio and seen on the small screen, most memorably in an ABC Afterschool Special where she got to be frozen in time with bad '80's hair, holding a cafeteria tray and spewing the line, "What you did threw off the curve!" In her other life, she teaches 17th-century literature and culture and writes about early modern women and science.
