Michelle Goldberg

Michelle Goldberg has been an opinion columnist at The New York Times since 2017. She was part of a team that won the Pulitzer Prize for public service for reporting on issues of workplace sexual harassment and has also won a Front Page Award from the Newswomen’s Club of New York for opinion/criticism and the Hillman Prize for opinion and analysis. Her first book, “Kingdom Coming: The Rise of Christian Nationalism,” about religious authoritarianism in American politics, was a finalist for the Helen Bernstein Award for Excellence in Journalism. After that, she traveled to countries including India, Ethiopia, Nicaragua, and Poland to write “The Means of Reproduction: Sex, Power and the Future of the World,” a book about global battles over gender and reproductive rights, which won the J. Anthony Lukas Work-In-Progress Award and the Ernesta Drinker Ballard Book Prize. Then, in a detour from politics, she wrote “The Goddess Pose,” a book about wellness culture and the long Western fascination with Eastern spirituality as refracted through the story of the peripatetic Russian yoga evangelist Indra Devi. Goldberg is an on-air contributor at MSNBC, and her work has appeared in publications including The New Yorker, The New Republic, The Nation, and many others.
