Background and family [edit]
Gore was born in Nashville, Tennessee, and grew up 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 a J.D. from Columbia Law School in 2000.[3] During college, she interned as a journalist for WREG-TV and The Times-Picayune. She later wrote for El Pais in Spain and Slate in Seattle. After law school, she was briefly an associate with the law firm Simpson Thacher & Bartlett in New York.[4]
On July 12, 1997 she married Andrew Newman Schiff,[1] a doctor of internal medicine in Washington D.C.[5][6] who is now a biotechnology fund manager.[7] Andrew is the great-great-grandson of industrialist Jacob Schiff. They have three children together: Wyatt Gore Schiff, (born July 4, 1999 in New York City)[8] Anna Hunger Schiff, (born August 23, 2001 in New York City)[9] and Oscar Aitcheson Schiff (born in 2006).[10][11] As of June 9, 2010, she and husband Andrew are separated.[12]
2000 campaign and book [edit]
Gore Schiff was the Youth Outreach Chair on her father's 2000 presidential campaign.[13][14] Together with her father's former Harvard roommate Tommy Lee Jones,[15] she officially nominated Gore as the presidential candidate during the 2000 Democratic Convention in Los Angeles.[16] She also introduced her father during the launching of his campaign.[17][18]
In 2006, she published Lighting the Way: Nine Women Who Shaped Modern America,[3] a profile of nine modern and historical American women.[19] Stating that the book was written in reaction to the results of the 2000 campaign, Gore Schiff said, "I wanted to turn all that frustration and sadness into something positive."[3]
