Michelle Goldberg is a peripatetic journalist and author who has always been fascinated by the intersection of ideology, sex and politics. Her first book, the New York Times bestseller Kingdom Coming: The Rise of Christian Nationalism (WW Norton), delved into some of the reddest precincts of the United States to expose the ascendant politico-religious fundamentalism dominating the Republican Party and, at the time, the Bush administration. Her newest book is The Means of Reproduction: Sex, Power, and the Future of the World.
