Ginia Bellafante (born March 31, 1965) is an American writer and critic for The New York Times.[1]
Career
Bellafante first worked as a fashion critic then spending the next five years reviewing television.[2] She then worked Time, as a senior reporter covering fashion, until 1999.[3][4]
In 2011, she began writing for the Big City column in The New York Times, "a weekly column dedicated life, culture, politics and policy in New York City".[2] She has also written for the paper's culture and style sections.
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."[5] Salon.com described it as "poorly thought-out."[4]
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.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12]
Her March 20, 2018, column on the candidacy of Cynthia Nixon for Governor of New York suggested the gentrification of New York City was partly attributable to the television show Sex and the City rather than the product of decades of economic and social conflicts among myriad actors in a complex metropolitan political economy.
Personal
Bellafante is a native of Long Island, and now lives in New York City with her husband and their son.[2]
