Professor Jacqueline Eales was educated at the university of London, where under the supervision of Conrad Russell she completed a PhD on the Harleys of Brampton Bryan and the English Civil War, which was later published under Cambridge University Press. She then taught at the university of London and the university of Kent, before taking up a post at what was then called Canterbury Christ Church University College, now Canterbury Christ Church University.
Eales' research interests also extend into the realm of women's history, which has led her to make a significant contribution to the New Dictionary of National Biography, correcting the very masculine bias of the original dictionary. Her recent work, Women in Early Modern England, 1500-1700, published under UCL press has helped open up this underexplored area of research. As a testament to Eales' ability both as a researcher, writer and an inspiring teacher she received a national teaching award in 2006.
