Pinkney prize from the Society for French Historical Studies. She is also the author of Dairy Queens: The Politics of Pastoral Architecture from Catherine de’ Medici to Marie-Antoinette (Harvard, 2011), and co-author of Meltdown: Picturing the World’s First Bubble Economy (2020), which is related to an exhibition that she co-curated for The New York Public Library.
