Print EmailPROFILE

Naomi Wolf
Feminist, social critic, and political activist Naomi Wolf raises awareness of the pervasive inequities that exist in society and politics. She encourages people to take charge of their lives, voice their concerns and enact change. 
 
Wolf’s landmark international bestseller, The Beauty Myth, challenged the cosmetics industry and the marketing of unrealistic standards of beauty, launching a new wave of feminism in the early 1990s. The New York Times called it one of the most important books of the 20th century.
 
Wolf’s latest book, The End of America: A Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot, is an impassioned call to return to the aspirations and beliefs of the Founding Fathers.  Wolf shows how events of the last six years parallel steps taken in the early years of the 20th century’s worst dictatorships. A documentary adaptation of the The End of America was relased in fall 2008 along with her follow-up book, Give Me Liberty: A Handbook For American Revolutionaries.
 
She is the author of, among other books, Fire With Fire: The New Female Power and Promiscuities: The Secret Struggle For Womanhood.
 
Wolf is co-founder of The Woodhull Institute for Ethical Leadership, an organization that teaches young women how to become leaders and agents of change in the 21st century, and co-founder of The American Freedom Campaign, a non-partisan citizens’ alliance formed to reverse the abuse of executive power and restore our system of checks and balances.
 
A graduate of Yale and a former Rhodes Scholar, Wolf has written essays for The New Republic, The Wall Street Journal, Glamour, and The New York Times. Her forthcoming book, Give Me Liberty: A Handbook For American Revolutionaries, will be released in fall 2008.
