Katherine Anne Roiphe is a prominent American author and journalist known for her sharp cultural analyses and insightful literary works. She rose to international prominence with her influential nonfiction book, The Morning After: Sex, Fear, and Feminism on Campus. In this work, she challenged conventional feminist perspectives on sexual dynamics on college campuses, provoking debates about academic institutions and their accountability.

Continuing her exploration of morality and social norms, Roiphe wrote Last Night in Paradise: Sex and Morals at the Century's End, followed by Uncommon Arrangements, a captivating study of marriage in literary circles in London. Her versatility as a writer extends to fiction, with the novel Still She Haunts Me, where she reimagines the complex relationship between Lewis Carroll and Alice Liddell.

Beyond her literary accomplishments, she has contributed to prestigious publications in Vogue, Harper's and The New York Times, with essays that reveal her blunt observations on culture and politics. Her academic prowess has also led her to work at New York University's Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute, where she directs the Cultural Reporting and Criticism Program.

Roiphe is notably the daughter of psychoanalyst Herman Roiphe and renowned feminist Anne Roiphe, which laid the foundation for her intellectual interests. She attended the prestigious Brearley School before earning her B.A. at Harvard University's Radcliffe Campus. She also completed a Ph.D. in English Literature at Princeton University. As such, a prolific body of work and an enviable academic trajectory make this prominent essayist a leading voice in contemporary cultural discourse, challenging and provoking readers to reconsider long-held beliefs.
