Edie Mayo - Curator Emeritus in Women’s History from the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History in Washington DC where she re-conceptualized the First Ladies exhibit, taking it from being about all about their gowns and china to showcasing contributions of the women made in society. At the National Museum of American History, she actively collected for the Museum’s holdings in women’s history, politics, civil rights, and voting rights, and strongly advocated the importance of 20th century collecting in museums. Edie was elected several times to the National Council of the American Studies Association.  She taught Material Culture in a jointly-sponsored course for the Smithsonian Institution and American Studies Dept. at The George Washington University. She lectures widely on women’s history and the First Ladies and serves as a Distinguished Lecturer for the Organization of American Historians.
