In her New York Times review, Claire Dederer suggested it was inappropriate to consider “Wolf as a political theorist, and instead call her a memoirist. She does her best writing when she’s observing her own life.” Her capability as a memoirist is not “self-indulgent. It seems vital, and in a sense radical, in the tradition of 1970’s feminists who sought to speak to every aspect of women’s lives.”
Wolf attended Yale University receiving her Bachelor of Arts in English literature in 1984. From 1985 to 1987, she was a Rhodes Scholar at New College, Oxford.

I wanted to write feminist theory, and I kept being told by the dons there was no such thing.” Her feminist writing at this time formed the basis of her first book, The Beauty Myth.

Via Wolf’s first book The Beauty Myth (1991), she became a leading spokeswoman of what has been described as the third wave of the feminist movement. Such leading feminists as Gloria Steinem and Betty Friedan praised the work; others, including Camille Paglia and Christina Hoff Sommers, criticized it. Her later books include the bestseller The End of America in 2007 and Vagina: A New Biography. Critics have challenged the quality and veracity of the scholarship in her books, including Outrages (2019). In this case, her serious misreading of court records led to its publication in the U.S. being cancelled.
In Fire with Fire (1993), Wolf writes on politics, female empowerment and women’s sexual liberation. The New York Times assailed the work for its “dubious oversimplifications and highly debatable assertions” and its “disconcerting penchant for inflationary prose,” nonetheless approving of Wolf’s “efforts to articulate an accessible, pragmatic feminism, … helping to replace strident dogma with common sense.” The Time magazine reviewer Martha Duffy dismissed the book as “flawed,” although she commented that Wolf was “an engaging raconteur” who was also “savvy about the role of TV – especially the Thomas-Hill hearings and daytime talk shows – in radicalizing women, including homemakers.” She characterized the book as advocating an inclusive strain of feminism that welcomed abortion opponents. In the UK, feminist author Natasha Walter writing in The Independent said that the book “has its faults, but compared with The Beauty Myth it has energy and spirit, and generosity too.” Walter, however, criticized it for having a “narrow agenda” where “you will look in vain for much discussion of older women, of black women, of women with low incomes, of mothers.” Characterizing Wolf as a “media star”, Walter wrote: “She is particularly good, naturally, on the role of women in the media.”

Likewise, Christina Hoff Sommers criticized Wolf for publishing the estimate that 150,000 women were dying every year from anorexia. Sommers states that she tracked down the source to the American Anorexia and Bulimia Association who stated that they were misquoted; the figure refers to sufferers, not fatalities. Wolf’s citation for the incorrect figure came from a book by Brumberg, who referred to an American Anorexia and Bulimia Association newsletter and misquoted the newsletter. Wolf accepted the error and changed it in future editions. Sommers gave an estimate for the number of fatalities in 1990 as 100–400. The annual anorexia casualties in the US were estimated to be around 50 to 60 per year in the mid-1990s. In 1995, for an article in The Independent on Sunday, British journalist Joan Smith recalled asking Wolf to explain her unsourced assertion in The Beauty Myth that the UK “has 3.5 million anorexics or bulimics (95 per cent of them female), with 6,000 new cases yearly”. Wolf replied, according to Smith, that she had calculated the statistics from patients with eating disorders at one clinic.
Her career in journalism began in 1995 and has included topics such as abortion, the Occupy Wall Street movement, Edward Snowden and ISIS. She has written for media outlets such as The Nation, The New Republic, The Guardian and The Huffington Post.
