Earle's authoritative and accessible writings have earned her lasting recognition as an influential figure in the field of history, particularly for her attention to the everyday lives of America's ancestors, which she brought to light with scrupulous research and a storyteller's voice. Her contribution to the cultural and domestic narratives of American history continues to be respected, inspiring subsequent generations of historians and casual readers alike.
