For 30 years, Maureen Dowd has written about the culture and politics of her D.C. hometown. She joined The New York Times in '83, after writing for Time and the now-defunct Washington Star. She's covered four presidential campaigns and served as White House correspondent. Dowd's Pulitzer Prize-winning series on the Clinton sex scandals made her a national media celebrity. In '04, she released her first book, Bushworld, and her latest, the controversial Are Men Necessary, explores the battle of the sexes.
