Early life

Grose was born in New York City and is the daughter of psychiatrist and photographer Judith Ebenstein Grose and cardiologist Richard M. Grose.[3]

In 2004, Grose graduated from Brown University.[4]

Career

Grose began her journalism career as associate editor of Jezebel, a blog owned by Gawker Media.[5] Soon after, Grose and author Doree Shafrir began a popular blog titled Postcards From Yo Momma, which became the basis for a book published by Hyperion Books in March 2009 titled LOVE, MOM: Poignant, Goofy, Brilliant Messages from Home.[6] [7] [8] [9]

Grose was named managing editor of Slate's women's site DoubleX in 2009, and co-hosted its "DoubleX Gabfest" podcast alongside Hanna Rosin and Noreen Malone.[10]

In 2012, Grose published her debut novel Sad Desk Salad through William Morrow Paperbacks / HarperCollins. It was billed "The Devil Wears Prada for the blogger age" and praised for its wit and accurate portrayal of the media by its reviewers and authors Jennifer Weiner and Amy Sohn.[11] [12] [13] [14] The novel chronicles writer Alex Lyons and satirizes the frenetic pace and moral traps of high-traffic blogging. The story is inspired by Grose's own early media career editing popular websites, including Slate and Jezebel.[15] [16] [17]

Grose was deputy editor of Vulture, the culture blog of New York magazine.[18] [19]

Grose covers women's issues, parenting, and contemporary culture. She is a regular contributor to Fast Company, Bloomberg Businessweek, and Slate magazines. Her essays and featured reporting appear in The New York Times, Glamour, New York, Elle, The New Republic, Spin and The Village Voice.

In June 2015, Grose became editor-in-chief of Lenny Letter, a feminist newsletter and online publication co-founded by Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner.[20]

In 2018, Grose became the parenting columnist for The New York Times. In October 2021, she moved to the New York Times opinion section to write a newsletter about what it means to be a parent.[21]

Her book Screaming on the Inside: The Unsustainability of American Motherhood was published in December of 2022.[22]
