Mollie Eisner is a PhD candidate in the Politics Department at Princeton University, specializing in political theory and intellectual history. Mollie’s dissertation traces invocations of the Biblical figure of Eve in the history of political thought—and grapples with the consequences of this influential history for our contemporary gender politics. For the 2026-2027 academic year, Mollie is a Laurance S. Rockefeller Graduate Prize Fellow at the University Center for Human Values. As a Cotsen Junior Fellow, Mollie is developing an undergraduate course with Professor Margot Canaday on the intellectual history of feminist thought, which they will teach in 2027. Prior to beginning her doctoral studies at Princeton, Mollie received a Bachelor of Arts in English and political theory from Bowdoin College and taught high school English at Northfield Mount Hermon as a University of Pennsylvania Fellow.
