Amy Westervelt is an award-winning American print, radio and podcast reporter.
Career[edit]
Westervelt is a Lake Tahoe-based[1] print and radio reporter who contributes regularly to The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Forbes,[2] Fast Company,[3] and various NPR shows and stations.[4] Her work has also appeared in The Guardian,[5] Popular Science, Elle, Teen Vogue, and many other publications. She has won a Folio and Rachel Carson Award[6] for her reporting on environmental issues, and a Murrow Award for her radio reporting.[7] Amy also co-hosts and produces multiple podcasts: Tell Me About Your Mother, Range, The Fifty One, Bearcat,[8] and Drilled, a true crime podcast that investigates the creation of climate denial.[9][10] In March 2018, Amy founded the podcast network Critical Frequency.[11]
Her new book, Forget Having It All: How America Messed Up Motherhood—and How to Fix It was published on November 13, 2018 by Seal Press, an imprint of the Hachette Book Group.[12][13][14] The book examines cultural notions of motherhood, how they impact all women, whether or not they decide to have kids and what they can do to improve matters.[15][16][17] Westervelt, in an interview with the New York Times after the book's release, said of Sheryl Sandberg, “All people in power have potential to be corrupted by it, and women are no different. Your social movement can’t be led by a C.E.O. or the C.O.O.”[18] She also links motherhood and American capitalism, focusing on the emphasis of economic competition over child care,[16] adding in an interview with WBUR that "This whole idea that women are somehow naturally better at dealing with kids is just totally manufactured."[16]
