A Fulbright grant to Italy led Betty Boyd Caroli to write on immigration: Italian Repatriation from the United States, 1900-1914; Immigrants Who Returned Home; and (with Thomas Kessner) Today’s Immigrants: Their Stories. Her years of teaching women’s history at City University of New York contributed to her interest in authoring: The Roosevelt Women; Lady Bird and Lyndon; Inside the White House; and First Ladies, now in its 5th edition. She divides her time between New York and Italy. Betty Boyd Caroli’s newest book, A Slumless America: Mary K. Simkhovitch and the Dream of Affordable Housing, traces the vital role of a woman whose name remained largely unknown even though she changed US policies on housing, injected a complicated addition to Bohemian Greenwich Village, and founded a settlement house that not only helped newly arrived immigrants but also launched women into activism and the professions.
