Rebecca Traister covers American politics with a consistent focus on how those politics affect women. She began her journalism career in the early 2000s at Salon and The New York Observer before becoming a contributing editor at Elle and eventually a writer-at-large for New York magazine.
Her books extend from her journalism. Big Girls Don’t Cry (2010) examines the 2008 election and its significance for American women. All the Single Ladies (2016) grew from research into the rise of unmarried women as a demographic and social force in the United States, and became a New York Times bestseller. Good and Mad (2018) traces the history of female anger in American political life, from the suffragist movement through the Trump-era resistance. The three books read as a connected body of work about women’s place in American public life across different decades and contexts.
