Bio
At Iowa State, I am a professor of History, the Director of Undergraduate Studies (the DUST) for the History Department, and an affiliate faculty member with the Women’s and Gender Studies Program and the Carrie Chapman Catt Center. I earned my PhD from the University of Texas, where I trained under Lewis L. Gould as a historian of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era. Currently I also serve as a historical advisor to the Theodore Roosevelt Center and a board member for FLARE (the First Ladies Association for Research and Education). In January 2025, I begin a three-year term as President of SHGAPE (the Society for Historians of the Gilded Age & Progressive Era).I am the author of Becoming Elizabeth Arden: The Woman Behind the Global Beauty Empire (Viking/Penguin, 2024), Juliette Gordon Low: The Remarkable Founder of the Girl Scouts (Viking/Penguin, 2012), and Alice: Alice Roosevelt Longworth, from White House Princess to Washington Power Broker (Viking/Penguin, 2007), as well as two books about Theodore Roosevelt.
Speaking about First Ladies, the Roosevelts, and my books, I have appeared on the History Channel, C-SPAN, Smithsonian TV, CNN, National Public Radio’s Weekend Edition, and the Diane Rehm Show, in addition to several podcasts. At Iowa State, I teach First Ladies in U.S. History, the Gilded Age, the Historian’s Toolbox, and U.S. History Survey II.
