Elizabeth graduated from Wellesley College in 1945 with a BA in Art History. She had a great love of this subject area and in the early 1970s while re-inventing herself after divorce in 1966, she attended the University of Oregon in Eugene where she received a Masters of Art degree in Byzantine Medieval Art History.
A 2008 letter to Geraldine Brooks, inspired by her 2008 work, People of the Book, provides a summary of Elizabeth’s research. As well, a series of papers she wrote while studying at the U of O provide more background for what would eventually be her final work in this period.
