Ginia Bellafante
 |
Ginia Bellafante (born March 31, 1965) is an American writer and critic for the New York Times.[1] She has worked for The New Times[disambiguation needed] for over ten years, starting as a fashion critic then spending the next five years reviewing TV programs.[2] In 2011, she began writing for Big City, a column which covers a number of different topics.[2] She has also written for Time magazine.[3][4]
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".[5] Salon.com described it as "poorly thought-out".[4] 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.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12]
Personal
Bellafante currently lives in New York City with her husband, and together they have a son.[2]
