About
Eugenia Gonzalez recently graduated from The Ohio State University with a Ph.D. in English, specializing in the Victorian period. Her dissertation, “Galatea’s Daughters: Dolls, Female Identity and the Material Imagination in Victorian Literature and Culture” examines the doll as a nexus between materialism and imagination and seeks to provide a richer account of the way this most fraught and symbolic of objects featured in the lives and minds of Victorians. Her essay, "'I sometimes think she is a spy on all my actions'”: Dolls, Girls, and Disciplinary Surveillance in the Nineteenth-Century Doll Tale was recently published in Children's Literature (39, 2011). She also recently co-edited (together with Meghan Burke Hattaway) a special issue of Prose Studies based on the proceedings of the 2011 British Women Writers Conference, of which she was also co-chair.
