You are also missing:

#include <string>

I would also recommend not to use

using namespace std;

in a header file. It defeats the whole purpose of having a
separate namespace for the standard library.

I'm not sure that's true. The "whole purpose" of having a separate
namespace is to let me choose whether I'm willing to pollute my
global namespace.

Sure, as long as you are the sole user of that header file. If it is
also used by others, you have made the choice for them as well. Not
always appreciated!
