Michelle Goldberg: Women Are People—1/4

  • 13 years ago
“Women have not been, are not understood, as fully human in huge parts of the world. People seem to have the idea that the oppression of racial minorities or religious minorities or all of these things are violations of human rights but the oppression of women is culture, and, you know, we have to respect other people's culture.”

Investigative journalist and author of “The Means of Reproduction: Sex, Power and the Future of the World,” Ms. Goldberg’s prior book, “Kingdom Coming: The Rise of Christian Nationalism,” was a New York Times bestseller and a finalist for the New York Public Library’s Helen Bernstein Book Award for Excellence in Journalism. She is a former senior writer at Salon.com. Among the many who have published Ms. Goldberg’s work are The New Republic, The Nation, Glamour and Rolling Stone magazines in the U.S. and The Guardian in the U.K. She has taught at New York University’s graduate school of journalism. Ms. Goldberg earned her graduate degree at the University of California - Berkeley.  She is a contributor to The Daily Beast.
