Caitlin Flanagan Biography

Caitlin Flanagan is an American writer and social critic. A former staff writer at The New Yorker, she is a contributor to The Atlantic. She is the author of To Hell with All That: Loving and Loathing Our Inner Housewife (2006) and Girl Land (2012).

Before becoming a writer, Flanagan was an English teacher and college counselor at the Harvard-Westlake school in North Hollywood, California. Some of her essays underscore the emotional rewards and social value of a housewife's role. Consequently, she has been criticized, for instance by Joan Walsh, for misrepresenting her life choices and then condemning other women for not choosing a lifestyle Flanagan herself did not choose either.

Flanagan has appeared as a guest on The Colbert Report and Real Time with Bill Maher.

Flanagan's book To Hell with All That: Loving and Loathing Our Inner Housewife was published by Little, Brown in 2006. The book was developed from a New Yorker essay by the same title, as well as other magazine pieces by Flanagan and new writing. In 2012 she published a book about teenage girls, Girl Land.
