Letty Cottin Pogrebin Biography

Letty Cottin Pogrebin is an American author, journalist, lecturer, and social activist recognized for her contributions to feminist and social justice movements. Pogrebin was a founding editor of Ms. Magazine, where she worked for 17 years, and co-founded the National Women's Political Caucus. She has described Ms. as translating a movement into a magazine, bringing topics such as domestic violence, sexual harassment, abortion rights, and workplace discrimination into the national conversation and establishing the publication as a key voice in modern feminism.

Before her work at Ms., Pogrebin held positions as director of publicity and later vice president at Bernard Geis Associates, where she became publicity director at age 20. Her marketing strategies contributed to the success of books including Helen Gurley Brown's "Sex and the Single Girl" and Jacqueline Susann's "Valley of the Dolls." Pogrebin wrote the "The Working Woman" column for Ladies' Home Journal and drew on these experiences for her first book, "How to Make It in a Man's World." She also served as an editorial consultant for the television special "Free to Be... You and Me," as well as the related album and book, earning an Emmy Award for her work.

Pogrebin has published twelve books, including the novels "Three Daughters" and "Single Jewish Male Seeking Soul Mate," and the nonfiction work "Deborah, Golda, and Me: Being Female and Jewish in America." Her memoir, "Shanda: A Memoir of Shame and Secrecy," explores the experiences of three generations of Jewish families. Pogrebin's articles and op-eds have appeared in The New York Times, Washington Post, Time, Huffington Post, Los Angeles Times, and The Nation, as well as in Jewish publications such as Tablet, Haaretz, Forward, and Tikkun. She has been a regular columnist for Moment magazine.

Pogrebin has been recognized in the women's movement and as a spokesperson for Jewish feminism and issues related to Israel-Palestine. She served two terms as president of The Authors Guild and two terms as chair of the board of Americans for Peace Now. Pogrebin co-founded several Black-Jewish and Jewish-Palestinian dialogue groups to promote intergroup understanding. Her honors include a Yale University Poynter Fellowship in Journalism, an Emmy Award for "Free to Be... You and Me," and inclusion in Who's Who in America.
