Gloria Lund Main (née Lund; born 1933) is an American economic historian who is a professor emeritus of history at University of Colorado Boulder. She authored two books about the Thirteen Colonies.
Life
Main was born to Mr. and Mrs. Howard Lund of Mount Hermon, California.[1] She graduated from Analy High School.[2] Main completed her bachelor's degree at San Jose State College.[1] She was an economics graduate student at University of California, Berkeley where she was the only female graduate student. Main paused her studies to marry and have children. Her husband, Jackson Turner Main, grandson of historian Frederick Jackson Turner, was her former undergraduate professor.[3] After her children were school aged, she earned a M.A. from Stony Brook University.[1] Influenced by her husband's field of study, Main completed a Ph.D. in American history at Columbia University.[3] Her 1972 dissertation on personal wealth in Thirteen Colonies was the basis of her first book.[4] She applies her economics training to her studies of colonial time periods. After a few years lecturing part time in the New York area, Main joined the faculty at University of Colorado Boulder. As of 2015[update], she is a professor emeritus.[3]
