Education and career
editGreen earned her bachelor's degree at Cornell University. She completed a master's degree at Yale University, and a Ph.D. at the University of Maryland, College Park.[2] Her dissertation, supervised by Carol Karp and finished in 1972, was Consistency Properties for Uncountable Finite-Quantifier Languages.[5]
Green was elected an AMS Member at Large in 1975 and served for three years until 1977.[6] She belonged to the faculty of Rutgers University before moving to Marymount University in 1989. After retiring from Marymount in 2007, she became a volunteer at the National Museum of American History.[2]
Book
editWith Jeanne LaDuke, she wrote Pioneering Women in American Mathematics: The Pre-1940 PhD’s (American Mathematical Society and London Mathematical Society, 2009). This was a biographical study of the first women in the U.S. to earn doctorates in mathematics.[7]
Recognition
editShe is part of the 2019 class of fellows of the Association for Women in Mathematics.[8]
