She then undertook a PhD in Modern British History at the University of Sussex, funded by an Asa Briggs scholarship, before becoming a research fellow for two years on a Leverhulme Trust-funded project at Sussex, Cambridge and the British Library on the business practices of feminist publishers in the 1970s.[5]

In November 2020, Strimpel became a British Academy postdoctoral fellow at the University of Warwick, researching relational tumult following the Divorce Reform Act 1969.[5]
