My Bio

Unwilling to fully abandon my Chicago-area upbringing, I live in Manhattan with my husband and a 13 lb. rabbit, but insist on calling soda pop and sneakers gym shoes. My first book, Off the Beaten (Subway) Track, is about unusual places in New York City and is coming out in July 2008. I am also a volunteer for the Haven Coalition, a network of New Yorkers who shelter low-income women who are forced to travel to New York to obtain an abortion. On Sundays and Thursday, you can find me blogging about Feminism & Gender as a contributing editor at BlogHer.com. My personal blog, Campaign for Unshaved Snatch (CUSS) & Other Rants is about feminism, travel, things I find funny, and life's various irritations.

A name can present a person to the outside world through a variety of overt and not-so-subtle ways. As an individual, it represents who you are and what you've achieved. For many people (myself included), a name becomes an inextricable part of his or her identity.

  • Have You Thanked Your Reproductive Rights Worker Lately?

    Posted June 12th, 2008 by Suzanne Reisman

    Since the anti-reproductive rights movement is intent on banning not only abortion, but also birth control (as I documented today over at BlogHer), I thought it would be nice to highlight work being done to promote reproductive health and positive sexuality.
