Career
Her first book, Big Girls Don't Cry (2010), was a New York Times Notable Book of 2010, and the winner of the Ernesta Drinker Ballard Book Prize in 2012. One of the key arguments of the book is that 2008 was the year "in which what was once called the women's liberation movement found thrilling new life" because of the campaign of Hillary Clinton. Her second book, All the Single Ladies (2016), has been referred to as a followup of the first, and presents, in the words of Gillian Whitemarch of The New York Times, a "well-researched, deeply informative examination of women’s bids for independence, spanning centuries."
Awards
Traister received a "Making Trouble / Making History Award" from the Jewish Women's Archive in 2012 at its annual luncheon, where Gloria Steinem was the presenter. In 2012, Traister received a Mirror Award for Best Commentary in Digital Media for two essays that appeared in Salon ("'30 Rock' Takes on Feminist Hypocrisy–and Its Own," and "Seeing 'Bridesmaids' is a Social Responsibility") and one that appeared in The New York Times ("The Soap Opera Is Dead! Long Live The Soap Opera!").
Family
In 2011 Traister married Darius Wadia, a public defender in Brooklyn. They live in New York.
