Lyle Nyberg is the author of Summer Suffragists, which has received praise from historians and writers as a splendid account of a cadre of suffragists’ summer lives and their fight for the right of women to vote.

Lyle is an independent scholar and historian who has spent years researching, writing, and speaking about the history of Scituate, Massachusetts. He has also documented more than 50 historic buildings, published in the state’s online MACRIS database. His work includes sites in Boston that were nationally important for women’s suffrage. In January 2020, he was a panelist for a League of Women Voters program on women’s suffrage.

Lyle graduated from Dartmouth College and Boston University School of Law. Like Will Irwin (featured in the book), he met and married a summer resident of Scituate, and came to love the town, and to write of the town’s history. Lyle retired to Scituate after a career as a corporate lawyer. He is a member of the Scituate Historical Society and the Massachusetts Historical Society.
