Biography

Historian Susan Kingsley Kent criticized Hoff's article, Gender as a postmodern category of paralysis (1994, Women's History Review), as it "breaks no new intellectual ground, but for anti-intellectualism, disingenuousness, and sheer incivility".[11] In the 1990s, she has appeared as a panelist in discussions broadcast by C-Span.[12]
in 1981, Hoff was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in the field of U.S. history.[8] She has also received the Vivian Paladin Award, and fellowships to the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars and the Radcliffe Institute, as well as a National Endowment of the Humanities research grant.[8]
