Christina Ward is an author, editor, and independent researcher. She had the distinct pleasure of riding around town in the Wienermobile with Padma Lakshmi on the hottest day in July of 2019 for “Taste the Nation.” Her previous book, American Advertising Cookbooks-How Corporations Taught Us To Love, Spam, Bananas, and Jell-O earned positive notice from Florence Fabricant in the New York Times, Christopher Kimball of Milk Street Radio, and numerous other journalists and readers.
Christina is often a guest expert on public radio stations across the United States, delighting in ‘working blue’ before 8 am. She contributed to and edited the 2021 book Bawdy Tales & Trifles of Devilries for Ladies and Gentlemen of Experience under her nom d’amour, Lady Fanny Woodcock. In addition, Christina contributes to academic and educational conferences on the topic of transgressive art. She is also the Vice President of Feral House, a publisher noted for books on culture.
