She has written for New York Magazine’s The Cut, Vanity Fair, Time, Elle, Marie Claire, O, The Oprah Magazine, and many other publications. She started working on this book in February of 2017, a few months after the 2016 election -- when many women across the country thought that we were going to see the first female president.
