Naomi Wolf is one of the most prolific feminists of the 21st century.
She runs the Daily Clout.
Naomi Rebekah Wolf is an American feminist author and journalist. Following her first book The Beauty Myth, she became a leading spokeswoman of what has been described as the third wave of the feminist movement.
Feminists including Gloria Steinem and Betty Friedan praised her work. Others, including Camille Paglia, criticized it.
In the 1990s, she was a political advisor to the presidential campaigns of Bill Clinton and Al Gore. Wolf’s later books include the bestseller The End of America in 2007 and Vagina: A New Biography.
After completing her undergraduate at Yale University, she went to Oxford and, during her time in England, she became involved in the feminist movement and began writing for various publications including The Guardian and The New Republic.
Her writing explored themes of female empowerment, body image, and the cultural expectations placed on women.
In 1991, Naomi gained international recognition with the publication of her best-selling book, The Beauty Myth in which she examined societal pressures on women to conform to narrow beauty standards and highlighted the potentially harmful effects of such expectations on women’s self-esteem and overall well-being.
She has, for a long time, advocated for gender equality and social justice (but the good kinds).
Naomi has written several other books, such as Promiscuities and Misconceptions which analyse topics like female sexuality and motherhood.
In recent years she has been a trooper in the Covid vaccine battleground.
She chatted to me about a bunch of things including why she owns a gun and (rightly) thinks that firearms are a great gender violence equaliser, as well as why abortion should be opposed.
