Julia Martins obtained a Master’s degree in Transnational and Transcultural Studies at Université Paris 8, where she focused her research on the lives of women in the 18th century. Her first-year thesis, titled "Women’s Lives in Pennsylvania During the Revolutionary Era," explores the domestic, religious, and legal spheres of women in Pennsylvania during the American Revolution. In her second-year thesis, "Exploring Intimacy and Identity : A Study of Eighteenth-Century Women’s Private Writings in Early America," she deepened this study by examining three diaries of women living in different colonies, thereby revealing their daily lives and social relationships.
