The Selling of Katie Roiphe

http://ift.tt/2mdzsMN

From hundreds of feminist writers vying for exposure, the Times had carefully selected one. A young female embodiment of Times values, Roiphe came with all the proper credentials: an upbringing in a liberal-intellectual Manhattan family plus diplomas from Brearley (an exclusive East Side girls school) and Harvard. Roiphe also possessed the requisite connections, including a writer-mom who has a two-decade history with the Times. Dozens of Anne Roiphe’s book reviews and articles have appeared in the Times and her reputation as a respected feminist writer (her late-1960s novel, Up the Sandbox, chronicled a housewife’s fantasy world) boosted the younger Roiphe’s authority as a commentator on the new feminist generation.
