Dobson earned a bachelor's degree in English from The King's College in New York in 1963. She went on to receive a master's degree in 1977 from the University of New York at Albany and a doctorate in 1985 from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. She taught at Amherst College and Tufts University before joining Fordham University as a tenure-track professor. She was a founding editor of Legacy: A Magazine of American Women Writers and formed a academic association dedicated to Emily Dickinson. At Amherst College, she currently teaches Fulbright Fellowship International summer programs.

Karen Pelletier, an English professor at Enfield College in Enfield, Massachusetts, a fictionalized Amherst College, has been a central character in Dobson's work until recently. Pelletier is from a working-class family in Lowell, where she became an unmarried mother and estranged from her family when she was still in high school. She is involved in situations concerning manuscripts, writers, and academia, and she frequently works with the local police, particularly detective Charlie Piotrowski, with whom she develops a personal bond throughout the series. In 2012, Dobson announced a new series set in World War Two New York, written in partnership with Beverle Graves Myers and starring a seasoned homicide detective and two young women, a nurse and a reporter.

Face of the Enemy featured on the Maine Sunday Telegram's top list, and Dobson published The Kashmiri Shawl, her first historical fiction novel, in 2014.
