About This Expert

Hanna Rosin is a founding editor of Slate’s DoubleX. She splits her time writing longer stories for the Atlantic and shorter ones for Slate.
Hanna won a National Magazine Award for contributing to a package in New York magazine on circumcision, and was nominated for a story about transgendered children. She continues to be roundly attacked for another story about breast-feeding.
Hanna got her start in journalism at the New Republic writing contrarian essays, and more recently worked at the Washington Post, doing straight reporting, mostly on politics and religion. She has written for the New Yorker, the New York Times and GQ. She has also appeared on the Daily Show, the Colbert Report and the Today Show. She was born in Israel, grew up in Queens, and went to Stanford University. She now lives in Washington, D.C. with her husband, Slate editor David Plotz, and their three children (whom she loves despite what the breastfeeding advocates say). She is also the author of God’s Harvard: A Christian College on a Mission to Save America and End of Men.
