Edgar Hoover and the Making of the American Century (Viking, 2022). In 2021, Gage was nominated to the National Council on the Humanities. Education and career 
Gage attended Yale as an undergraduate, graduating in 1994 with a degree in American studies, then earned her PhD in history at Columbia University in 2004. In September 2021, she announced that she would resign as director of the Grand Strategy program, effective December 2021, citing concerns about academic freedom and a "board of visitors" that was formed to oversee her work. In an interview with The New York Times, she stated, "It’s very difficult to teach effectively or creatively in a situation where you are being second-guessed and undermined and not protected." On October 1, 2021, the Yale history department issued a statement in support of her. Her 2022 biography of J. Edgar Hoover, G-Man, received the 2023 Pulitzer Prize for Biography, the 2023 Bancroft Prize and Barbara and David Zalaznick Book Prize in American History. It was a finalist for the 2023 National Book Critics Circle Award for Biography. References
