[edit] Background and family
Gore was born in Nashville, Tennessee and grew up both there as well as in Washington D.C.. She graduated from National Cathedral School in 1991.[2] She received her B.A. in history and literature in 1995 from Harvard University and J.D. from Columbia Law School in 2000.[3] She interned as a journalist for WREG-TV and The Times-Picayune. She later wrote for Slate and was an attorney with a law firm in New York.[4]
On July 12, 1997 she married Andrew Newman Schiff,[1] a doctor, in Washington D.C.[5][6] Andrew is a descendant of Jacob Schiff. They have three children together: Wyatt Gore Schiff, (born July 4, 1999 in New York City)[7] Anna Hunger Schiff, (born August 23, 2001 in New York City)[8] and Oscar Aitcheson Schiff (born in 2006).[9][10] As of June 9, 2010, she and husband Andrew are separated.[11]
[edit] 2000 campaign and book
Gore Schiff worked on her father's campaign during the 2000 presidential campaign as Youth Outreach Chair.[12][13] Together with her father's former Harvard roommate Tommy Lee Jones,[14] she officially nominated Gore as the presidential candidate during the 2000 Democratic Convention in Los Angeles.[15] She also introduced her father during the launching of his campaign.[16][17]
In 2006, she published Lighting the Way: Nine Women Who Shaped Modern America,[3] a book written in reaction to the results of the 2000 campaign. Gore Schiff stated: "I wanted to turn all that frustration and sadness into something positive."[3] The nine women profiled in the text are: Ida Wells-Barnett, Mary Harris "Mother" Jones, Alice Hamilton, Frances Perkins, Virginia Durr, Septima Clark, Dolores Huerta, Helen Rodriguez-Trias, and Gretchen Buchenholz.[18]
