Lisa Hager (English and Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies at UWM-Waukesha) is the recipient of the Surridge Prize for best essay in the Victorian Review. Her essay, “A Case for a Trans Studies Turn in Victorian Studies: ‘Female Husbands’ of the Nineteenth Century,” was commended for the ways it compelled readers to rethink the familiar contours of the male/female opposition by way of a wealth of archival research and the analysis of newspaper archives. Well done, Lisa!
