Amanda Marcotte

Amanda Marie Marcotte (born September 2, 1977) is an American blogger best known for her writing on feminism and politics. Time magazine described her in 2007 as "an outspoken voice of the left," and said "there is a welcome wonkishness to Marcotte, who, unlike some star bloggers, is not afraid to parse policy with her readers"—while also describing her blogging as "provocative and profanity-laced."

Marcotte is the author of It's a Jungle Out There: The Feminist Survival Guide to Politically Inhospitable Environments (2008) and Get Opinionated (2010).
