She published The Inland Whale, a collection of translated Native Californian narratives in 1959. Kroeber began writing professionally late in her life, after her children had grown up. On their return, Alfred encouraged Theodora to continue her graduate work, but she declined, feeling she had too many responsibilities. The Kroebers traveled together to many of Alfred's field sites, including an archaeological dig in Peru, where Theodora worked cataloging specimens. One of her two children with Kroeber was the writer Ursula K. She met anthropologist Alfred Louis Kroeber during her studies, and married him in 1926.

She attended the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), for her undergraduate studies, graduating with a major in psychology in 1919, and received a master's degree from the same institution in 1920. Born in Denver, Colorado, Kroeber grew up in the mining town of Telluride, and worked briefly as a nurse.
