As a syndicated columnist, frequent media guest and an affiliate scholar at the Institute of American Values, Maggie Gallagher has emerged as a one of the most influential younger women's voices on marriage, family and social policy. Her articles have appeared in many other magazines and newspapers, including The New Republic, The Wall Street Journal, National Review, Cosmopolitan and The New York Times.

Gallagher's first book, Enemies of Eros: How the Sexual Revolution is Killing Family, Marriage and Sex, was published by Bonus Books in 1989. Judge Robert Bork called it "lucid, witty, profound, devastating," and George Gilder pronounced it "the best book ever written on men, women and marriage."

Her next book, The Abolition of Marriage, published by Regnery in 1996, has been called one of the inspirations of the new marriage movement. "A most extraordinary book," wrote William F. Buckley Jr., "the axiom of which is that marriage should, really endure - giving us the illuminations that comes from hard thought, eloquently distilled."

Her third book, The Case for Marriage, co-authored with University of Chicago Professor Linda Waite, was published by Harvard University Press in 1999.

A Yale graduate (class of '82), she lives with her husband and children in Westchester, N.Y.
