Salon columnist and author of
Big Girls Don't Cry (2010), a book about Hillary Clinton's 2008 Presidential bid (an election on which IntLawGrrls frequently
posted). Traister's remark appeared in a thought-provoking
New York Times Magazine essay that linked the 20th anniversary of the testimony of Professor
Anita Hill (prior IntLawGrrls posts
here and
here) during confirmation hearings for Clarence Thomas, then a nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court, with contemporary treatment of various women's accounts.
