Linda Kay Schott was an Associate Professor of History and American Studies, and Director of the Center for the Study of Women and Gender, at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). Schott was the driving force behind the establishment of the Archives for Research on Women and Gender at UTSA, now the UTSA Library's Archives and Special Collections Department.
Before coming to UTSA, Schott worked as an instructor at Southwest Texas State University (now Texas State University) from 1985 until around 1986, and at Texas Lutheran College for an indeterminate amount of time, apparently beginning in 1986. She earned a B.A. in History and German from Baylor University in 1979, an M.A. in History at Stanford University in 1981, and a joint Ph.D. in History and Humanities from Stanford University, with a major in United States history and minor in modern European history, in 1985. While pursuing her doctoral degree at Stanford University, Schott taught classes in literature, history, and the humanities.
Schott is the author of Reconstructing Women's Thoughts: the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom before World War II (Stanford University Press, 1997).
