Criticism
Some of Bellafante's writing has been criticized for its treatment of gender issues. Her 1998 Time cover story "Is Feminism Dead?" was critiqued by Erica Jong, who said, "Time's idiotic cover story on feminism is, in short, a symptom of what's wrong, not an analysis." Salon.com described it as "poorly thought-out."
Her New York Times review in 2011 of Game of Thrones was criticized by some as sexist for suggesting that only sexual content might motivate women to watch a complex fantasy story.
Personal
Bellafante lives in New York City with her husband and their son.
