Editor as well of three books, she served in 2010–11 as president of the New England Historical Association. A board member of Clio: Visualizing History, she is working on an upcoming exhibit, Women Making History. Her article on Harriet Hubbard Ayer in this issue grew from teaching interests that led her to investigate and evaluate how historians recreate past lives and past worlds and the relationship of historical analysis to storytelling.Footnotes
