Ellen Goodman
A stylish writer with a humanizing touch on any issue, public or personal, Ellen Goodman is an American original. She is a Pulitzer Prize winner for Distinguished Commentary, among many other awards she has received for journalism, civil rights, and women?s issues. Her abundant talents -- intellect, wit, style, news judgment -- set her apart with an ?lan uniquely her own. Her Pulitzer Prize commentary appears in more than 450 newspapers, making her one of the two most syndicated columnists in the United States.
One of those rare writers and thinkers who senses emerging shifts in our public and private lives, Goodman alters perceptions of confounding issues. She has been an innovative force in American journalism, commenting on the tumult of social change and its impact on families and shattering the mold of men writing exclusively about politics. She is widely acclaimed as a voice of sanity, and readers depend on her to help them make sense of their changing lives and relationships.
Goodman?s first job was at Newsweek as a researcher, at a time when only men became writers. She landed a job as a reporter for the Detroit Free Press in 1965 and, in 1967, for The Boston Globe where she began writing her column. Her column was syndicated by The Washington Post Writers Group beginning in 1976. Her first book, ?Turning Points?, detailed the effect of the changing roles of women on the family. Five collections of her columns have also been published, and she is also co-author with Patricia O?Brien of ?I Know Just What You Mean: The Power of Friendship in Women?s Lives?.
