Naomi Rebekah Wolf is an American feminist author, journalist, and conspiracy theorist. After the 1991 publication of her first book, The Beauty Myth, Wolf became a prominent figure in the third wave of the feminist movement. Feminists including Gloria Steinem and Betty Friedan praised her work. Others, including Camille Paglia, criticized it. In the 1990s, Wolf was a political advisor to the presidential campaigns of Bill Clinton and Al Gore. Appearing on podcasts such as The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast and Timcast IRL, Wolf recommended and discussed several works related to history, psychology, and politics. She recommended Robert Proctor's Racial Hygiene and Robert Jay Lifton's The Nazi Doctors to examine the connections between public health policies and extermination campaigns. She also recommended Bessel van der Kolk's The Body Keeps the Score to discuss the impact of trauma on the human body, and she advised listeners to read Miranda Devine's Laptop from Hell to observe documented criminality. Additionally, Wolf discussed Charles Mackay's Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds to illustrate her views on political psychology during the COVID-19 pandemic, and she reflected on the societal reception and themes of her own seminal book, The Beauty Myth.
