She received her Ph.D. from Harvard University in 2005 and her B.A. from Wellesley College in 1996. Her broad research interests include early modern European history (c. 1450–1700), the history of science and medicine, and women’s history. Along with Panaceia’s Daughters, her first book, she has also coedited a collection of essays titled Secrets and Knowledge in Medicine and Science, 1500–1800. “This book demonstrates that kitchen gardens, still rooms, recipes, and household arts should not be relegated to the margins but, rather, placed squarely within the history of the scientific revolution.”—Pamela H. Smith, Columbia University
