Irin Carmon is a senior correspondent at New York magazine and the author of Unbearable: Five Women and the Perils of Pregnancy in America, to be published by One Signal/Simon & Schuster on October 28, 2025. She speaks frequently across the country on gender, reproduction, and public affairs.

She is the co-author of the New York Times bestselling book Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. "That I responded so personally to it is a testimony to Ms. Carmon's storytelling and panache," the paper's staff book critic wrote of Notorious RBG. The book was an inspiration for an Oscar-nominated documentary, RBG, that featured Carmon and her co-author, and has sold well over a half million copies.

Carmon’s New York magazine reporting and essays have twice been recognized with Front Page Awards from the Newswomen’s Club. Her reporting in The Washington Post on sexual harassment at Charlie Rose and CBS News in 2018 was honored with a Mirror Award from the Newhouse School at Syracuse University and was a finalist for the Livingston Award.

Previously, Carmon worked at CNN as an on-air contributor and MSNBC as a national reporter, and as a staff writer at Salon and Jezebel. She lives in New York City with her husband, the author and professor Ari Richter, and their two daughters.
