Born Dale Vivienne Butler in 1942, Kent was brought up in a Christian Science family in Melbourne, Victoria.[1] She graduated from the University of Melbourne with a BA in history and English in 1965 and worked as a tutor at that university in 1966 and 1967. She then moved to England to undertake a PhD at the University of London (1967–1971).[2] Returning to Melbourne, she worked at La Trobe University from 1971–1984) progressing from lecturer to senior lecturer and finally reader of history. In 1987 she moved to the United States as professor of history at the University of California, Riverside, a position she held until her retirement in 2009.[2]
