Katie Roiphe (born July 13, 1968 in New York City ) is an American author .

Life

Roiphe grew up as a daughter of the feminist author Anne Roiphe (* 1935) and the psychoanalyst Herman Roiphe (1924-2005) in New York and attended the Brearley School , a girls' school of the social elite. She graduated from Harvard University with a BA in 1990 and received her PhD in literature from Princeton University in 1996 . Roiphe is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Journalism at New York University . Roiphe was married between 2001 and 2005, from the marriage the daughter Violet comes. She also has a son Leo and is a single parent.

Her first book, The Morning After , caused a sensation in 1993 and received mixed coverage in the leading American East Coast newspapers and in some cases heavy criticism. Roiphe claims that the women's rights movement has arrived in society and has lost its momentum as a result. The striving for personal responsibility has given way to the need for social regulation, but the increasing protection would again lead to incapacitation. The starting point was discussions and feminist campaigns on date rape . In 1993 Camille Paglia praised her as the intellectual champion of a new generation of feminists. The British Ruth Picardie was reserved. Katha Pollitt wrote a slap in The New Yorker and Gloria Steinem initially criticized her sharply. Some of their readings took place under police protection.

Roiphe became a sought-after commentator, writing essays and reviews for Vogue , Harper's , Slate , The Washington Post, and The New York Times .

In 2001 she wrote the novel Still She Haunts Me about the relationship between Charles Dodgson, aka Lewis Carroll , and Alice Liddell , the Alice from Dodgson's Alice in Wonderland . Her book Uncommon Arrangements , published in 2007, is devoted to the environment of the London Bloomsbury Group of Virginia Woolf and the couple relationships of HG Wells , Rebecca West , Katherine Mansfield , Vera Brittain , Vanessa Bell , Clive Bell , Elizabeth von Arnim , John Francis Russell , Ottoline Morrell and Radclyffe Hall and other companions of these people. The book was also a reaction to one's own failed marriage.
