Pauline Maier, a distinguished historian of the American Revolution who taught at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for thirty-five years, passed away Monday morning at the age of seventy-five.

The cause of death was reportedly lung cancer.

Born Pauline Rubbelke in St. Paul, Minnesota in 1938, Pauline Maier attended Radcliffe College as an undergraduate and was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to the London School of Economics before receiving her PhD from Harvard University in 1968 under the tutelage of Bernard Bailyn. (Her husband Charles also received his PhD in European history from Harvard.)  Throughout her long and varied career, Professor Maier was one of the leading public intellectuals in the United States, and was one of the formative "neo-Whig" historians of the American Revolution, along with Gordon Wood and Edmund Morgan."
