Early life and education

[edit]

Rosin was born in Israel and emigrated with her family in 1976, settling in the ethnically diverse neighborhood of Briarwood, Queens, where her father was a taxi driver.[5][4][6] She is Jewish.[7] She graduated from Stuyvesant High School in 1987, where she won a number of competitions on the debate team with her debate partner David Coleman.[8] She attended Stanford University and was married to former Atlas Obscura CEO David Plotz.[9]

Career

[edit]

Rosin is a co-founder of Slate magazine's DoubleX, a women's site.[4] She is also a writer for The Atlantic. She has written for The Washington Post, The New Yorker, GQ and New York after beginning her career as a staff writer for The New Republic. Rosin has also appeared on The Daily Show and The Colbert Report on Comedy Central.

A character portrayed by actress Chloë Sevigny in the 2003 film Shattered Glass about Rosin's colleague at The New Republic, Stephen Glass, was loosely based on Rosin.[10][11]

Rosin partly has specialized in writing about religious-political issues, in particular the influence of evangelical Christians on the 2004 U.S. presidential campaign.[12] She is the author of God's Harvard: A Christian College on a Mission to Save America, published in September 2007. Based on a New Yorker story, the book follows several young Christians at Patrick Henry College, a new evangelical institution that teaches its students to "lead [the] nation and shape [the] culture."

In 2009, she published a controversial article in The Atlantic entitled "The Case Against Breast-Feeding," questioning whether current social pressures in favor of breastfeeding were appropriate, and whether the science in support of the practice was conclusive.[13] In 2009 she was nominated for a National Magazine Award for "Boy's Life",[14] a story about a young transgender girl. In 2010 she won the award for her contribution to a package of stories in New York magazine about circumcision.[15] Her stories have also been included in anthologies of Best American Magazine Writing 2009 and Best American Crime Reporting 2009.[16][17]

Rosin has published a book based on her 2010 Atlantic story, The End of Men.[18] She gave a TED talk on the subject in 2010.[19] In the talk, she details the emergence of women as a powerful force in the American workplace. For Rosin, this shifting economy has allowed women to use their most gendered stereotypical strengths to succeed.[20]
