Authors
The writers behind this newsletter.
Feminist philosopher and media maven specializing in U.S. politics and culture. Author of influential books on the female body, masculinity, Anne Boleyn, Hillary Clinton, Post-Trump politics, and TV.
I write about media literacy, modern antisemitism, history, and what happens when truth gets flattened into slogans. This space slows things down, adds context, and pushes back on easy narratives. Nuance isn’t weakness. Pull up a chair.
