She resumed her syndicated opinion column for the New York Times in 2007. Ms. Collins also writes for The Conversation a Times blog in which she discusses political issues with David Brooks.
In her books America's Women and When Everything Changed Ms. Collins offers insightful research and historical perspective with characteristic wit and humanity. Reviewer Amy Bloom writes that Collins' smart thorough often droll and extremely readable account of women's recent history provides the best summary of American women's social and political history that I've read. Of her columns New York Magazine finds that in an age of outbursts Collins has subverted the pundit's rude role performing what amounts to a sly soft-shoe over a rising wave of ideological bombast.
Ms. Collins earned a Bachelor's degree in journalism at Marquette and a Master's in government at University of Massachusetts. Before joining The Times Ms. Collins was a columnist at New York Newsday and the New York Daily News and a reporter for United Press International.
