| About the Author
 One
of the most recognized and original social commentators, author/journalist
Barbara Ehrenreich has been a contributing writer for Time Magazine
since 1990. Her articles covering healthcare, class, families, sex,
and gender politics have appeared in a range of national publications,
including The New York Times Magazine, The Washington Post Magazine,
The Atlantic Monthly, The Nation, The New Republic, The Progressive,
and Harper's.
Ehrenreich received the Sydney Hillman Award for Journalism and
a Brill's Content Honorable Mention for a chapter of Nickel and
Dimed, which appeared in Harper's in January 1999. A second essay
entitled "Maid to Order," which grew out of her research
for this book, was also published by Harper's (April 2000), where
it generated so many letters that the magazine had to create a special
section to accommodate them. Both articles drew widespread media
interest.
She has been the recipient of numerous grants and awards, including
a Ford Foundation Award for Humanistic Perspectives on Contemporary
Society in 1982, a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1987-88, and a grant
for Research and Writing from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur
Foundation in 1995. She shared the National Magazine Award for Excellence
in Reporting in 1980 and has received honorary degrees from Reed
College, the State University of New York at Old Westbury, the College
of Wooster in Ohio, and La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia.
She has a Ph.D. in biology from the Rockefeller University and a
B.A. from Reed College. She has taught at the Graduate School of
Journalism at U. C. Berkeley and at Brandeis University.
