Early life

Education

Francis has a BA from University of California, Davis and an MA from Iowa State University, both in creative writing, and a PhD from Ball State University in literature and literary theory. Her thesis focused on pre-Civil War-era women novelists (1858–65) and their portrayal of women. She then linked that to British post-colonial theory of controlling native populations in their colonies.
