Green was born at Ann Arbor, Michigan. Her father was historian Andrew C. McLaughlin. She completed a bachelor's degree at Smith College in 1919 and a Master's degree at Mount Holyoke College in history in 1925. After graduation, Green served as a part-time instructor at Mount Holyoke from 1925 to 1932. Going on to complete a PhD at Yale University in 1937, her dissertation, a case history of Holyoke, Massachusetts, represented one of the earliest academic works of urban history, and would subsequently be published by Yale University Press upon receiving the university's Eggleston Award in History.[2] In 1938 she became instructor in the history department of Smith College and head of the Smith College Council of Industrial Relations in 1939. After leaving Smith, Green accepted the position of historian at Springfield Armory during the Second World War. She became a consulting historian for the American Red Cross in 1946, chief historian of the Army Ordnance Department in 1948, and historian at the research and development board, Office of the Secretary of Defense.[3] In 1954, under a six-year grant from the Rockefeller Foundation, Green became director of the Washington History Project, which was administrated by American University.[3][4]
She married Donald Ross Green; they had three children, including daughter Lois Green Carr, who was also a historian.[5][6]
Green died on December 5, 1975, in Annapolis, Maryland, at her daughter's home.[7]
