Susan J. Douglas
Susan J. Douglas is a feminist academic, columnist, and cultural critic who writes about gender issues, media criticism and American politics. She has published five books on American history, and is currently a professor of communication studies at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor.[1]
Douglas is probably best known for her 1994 book Where the Girls Are: Growing Up Female with the Mass Media, which was selected as one of the top ten books of the year by National Public Radio, Entertainment Weekly magazine and The McLaughlin Group, and which Michiko Kakutani described in the New York Times as "provocative ... irreverent and sometimes very funny."[2]
She has written for The Nation, In These Times, The Village Voice, Ms. magazine, the Washington Post and TV Guide, and was media critic for The Progressive from 1992-1998. Her column “Back Talk” appears monthly in In These Times.[1]
