#123: What Our Mothers Didn't Tell Us About Feminism, Men & Motherhood with Danielle Crittenden

"Danielle Crittenden is the co-host of the Femsplainers podcast where together with Christina Hoff Summers they hold the gossipy, smart, witty conversation you’d have if all of your girlfriends were experts on the hot topics of the moment. High spirited and high minded, Danielle & Christina don’t argue or whine but seek to get to the heart of the matter, over cocktails (or wine).

A longtime contributor to the Huffington Post, her numerous articles and essays have appeared in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Daily Telegraph, and the Ladies Home Journal, among other publications. A former columnist for the New York Post, she has appeared on NBC’s Today show, The O’Reilly Factor, ABC’s 20/20 and Nightline, and network news shows, as well as numerous programs for CSPAN, MSNBC, PBS, CNN, Fox, NPR, CTV, and CBC.

She is co-author of the cookbook, From a Polish Country House Kitchen with Pulitzer-prize winning historian Anne Applebaum, and the author of three previous books: Her non-fiction book What Our Mothers Didn’t Tell Us: Why Happiness Eludes the Modern Woman, resulted in Vanity Fair describing Crittenden as 'one of the most important new thinkers about women and family'. She also has written two works of fiction: The President’s Secret IMs, originally published on the Huffington Post; and Amanda Bright @ Home, the first novel ever to be serialized by the Wall Street Journal.

Crittenden was born in Toronto, Canada. She is married to journalist and author David Frum, a former special assistant and speechwriter to President George W. Bush, and senior editor at The Atlantic. They have three children and live in Washington, D.C. and Wellington, Ontario."
