Ginia Bellafante (born March 31, 1965) is an American writer and critic for the New York Times.[1] She has also written for Time magazine.[2][3]
Her writing has been criticized for its superficial treatment of gender issues: Her 1998 Time cover story "Is Feminism Dead?" was critiqued by Erica Jong. According to Jong, "Time's idiotic cover story on feminism is, in short, a symptom of what's wrong, not an analysis".[4] Salon.com described it as "poorly thought-out".[3] Her 2011 New York Times review of the TV series Game of Thrones was widely criticized as sexist for suggesting that only sexual content might motivate women to watch a complex fantasy story.[5]
