I am the author of three books, most recently The Dignity of Dependence: A Feminist Manifesto. My book argues that women’s equality with men doesn’t depend on our interchangeability with men. I’ve been writing on these themes for some time on my substack, Other Feminisms.
I’m also the author of of Arriving at Amen: Seven Catholic Prayers that Even I Can Offer, which tells the story of how I learned to pray. My second book, Building the Benedict Option, is a guide to building thicker Christian community.
My freelance writing has appeared in The New York Times, First Things, The Dispatch, The New Atlantis, and others. I’ve spoken on CNN, at Theology on Taps in multiple countries, at World Youth Day, and I could come to speak to you!
I work in family policy in Washington D.C. Previously, I’ve worked as a news writer for FiveThirtyEight and in campus ministry at Princeton. I live in Maryland with my husband and children.
