Ziegler was born in 1982 and grew up in Montana. [2] She graduated from Phillips Academy Andover in 2000 [3] and Harvard College in 2004, [4] where she published short stories in the Harvard Advocate and taught English as a second language to refugee students through the Refugee Summer Youth Enrichment program. [2] Ziegler then earned her JD from Harvard Law School in 2007. [4] She lives in California with her husband and daughter. [5]
After graduating from law school, Ziegler clerked for Justice John Dooley of the Vermont Supreme Court before completing a Ruebhausen postgraduate fellowship at Yale Law School. [6] She began work as an assistant professor at the Saint Louis University School of Law in 2010 before joining the faculty at Florida State University College of Law in 2013. [4] She was a visiting professor at Harvard Law School in spring 2022 [7] and joined the law faculty at UC Davis in the fall of 2022. [1]
Ziegler is the author of multiple books on the history of abortion in the United States. [8] Her first, After Roe: The Lost History of the Abortion Debate, won the Thomas J. Wilson Memorial Prize for best first manuscript in any discipline from Harvard University Press [9] and was reviewed in The Economist. [10] Her second book, Beyond Abortion: Roe v. Wade and the Fight for Privacy, was published by Harvard University Press in 2018 [11] and was reviewed in The New York Review of Books. [12] Her third book, Abortion and the Law in America: Roe v.

In 2022, Ziegler published a reference book titled Reproduction and the Constitution in the United States with Routledge Press. [16] Her book Dollars for Life: The Anti-Abortion Movement and the Fall of the Republican Establishment was published by Yale University Press in June 2022 [17] and was reviewed in The New York Times. [18] Kirkus Reviews called the book a "sober, knowledgeable scholarly analysis of a timely issue." [19] In 2023, she published Roe: The History of a National Obsession.
Ziegler has written on the legal history of abortion in the United States for The Atlantic, [20] CNN, [21] The New York Times, [22] and The Washington Post. [23] She also regularly comments on related topics for ABC News, [24] The New Yorker, [25] NPR, [26] and PBS NewsHour. [27] Pulitzer Prize winner David Garrow has called her "the premier historian of abortion in the post-Roe era." [28]
