Guardian US Adds Feminist Columnist Jessica Valenti
Starting in late April, author and journalist Jessica Valenti will be contributing daily to The Guardian‘s “Comment is Free” opinion section. From today’s announcement by the paper’s U.S. editor-in-chief Janine Gibson:
Valenti was previously a columnist for The Nation, where she wrote weekly for thenation.com and penned the bi-monthly “Body Politic” column. She is the founder of feministing.com, which Columbia Journalism Review called “head and shoulders above almost any writing on women’s issues in mainstream media.”
She is the author of four award-winning books, including The Purity Myth: How America’s Obsession with Virginity is Hurting Young Women, which won the 2010 Independent Publisher Book Award and was made into a documentary by the Media Education Foundation.
