Suzanne Fields

She writes on a wide range of topics at the intersection of politics and culture. She’ll tell you how Tarzan became "politically correct." She’ll explain why Princeton University dared to hire a professor who advocates killing babies. She offers reasons why women find male feminists no better than male chauvinists and why our political campaigns are the revenge of the Teletubby generation.

Fields puts these topics, and more, on the liveliest op-ed pages in America. She shuns the stuffy, the doctrinaire and the boring, substituting wit, humor and the kind of provocative insights that have made her syndicated column one of the bright lights of commentary.

Based in Washington, DC and at home in the steamy precincts of national politics, Fields writes "off the news" in a way that attracts both men and women of all ages to look at issues where people actually live, illuminating the big picture with revealing facts and anecdotes that many of her colleagues miss. She’s a cultural conservative, with a small "c," but she’s never shrill or rigid in her columns or her speeches. She writes and talks about sexual politics and politicized sexuality in the way college students rap about them – seriousness laced with skepticism and humor. She examines trends before many sociologists or politicians do.

Fields’ speeches include controversial issues that college students debate endlessly—the sexual politics of dating, mating, harassment, feminism, chauvinism and political correctness as well as sexual politics of first ladies, second men, third parties and the fourth estate. She has been a popular commentator on many network and cable talk shows featuring news and social issues, offering common sense in an uncommon way.Fields is the mother of two daughters and lives in Washington, DC with her husband.
