Ellen Malenas Ledoux is a Professor in the English and Communication Department and Directs the undergraduate Liberal Studies program at Rutgers–Camden. Her recent book, Laboring Mothers: Reproducing Women and Work in the Eighteenth Century (Virginia 2023), examines how Enlightenment ideas about the public sphere and maternity both created and foreclosed professional opportunities for women. Her first book, Social Reform in Gothic Writing: Fantastic Forms of Change, 1764-1834, was published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2013. She has published widely on Gothic writing and women’s cultural history during the long eighteenth century in venues such as Studies in Romanticism, The Eighteenth Century: Theory and Interpretation, Women’s Writing, and Studies in Eighteenth-Century Culture.

I took a long and winding way through higher education to establish my New Jersey roots here in the College of Arts and Sciences at Rutgers–Camden.  I have been with the Office of Advising since the winter of 2009. My advising interests include professional development of students and collaborating with different offices for the betterment and empowerment of Rutgers–Camden’s students.  For fun, I love to spend time with my husband and son, travel to new places, eat Asian food, and volunteer at my church and Collingswood Farmers Market. My favorite authors are Amy Tan and Truman Capote.
