She writes about gender, politics, and social issues.

She co-hosted the podcast Call Your Girlfriend, sends out a weekly email newsletter called The Ann Friedman Weekly, and is a contributing editor for The Gentlewoman.

Previously, she was deputy editor for The American Prospect, executive editor at the Los Angeles–based GOOD magazine, and a co-founder of the employee-driven, crowd-sourced spin-off Tomorrow magazine.

Ann Friedman's hometown is Dubuque, Iowa.

2001

She began her journalism career there as an intern with the Telegraph Herald in 2001.

2004

She is an alumna of the University of Missouri, where she graduated from its School of Journalism in 2004.

Friedman lived in New York City for over a year.

Friedman also lived in Washington, DC, where she met friend and co-podcast host Aminatou Sow.

Los Angeles is her permanent residence.

She identifies herself in public speaking engagements and in her work as a feminist.

Her online editing career began when she took the managing editor position for AlterNet and became an editor at Feministing, where she had already been writing since 2004.

2005

In the fall of 2005, Friedman started off as a fact-checking fellow at Mother Jones'.

2008

After taking a position with The American Prospect as web editor she was promoted to deputy editor from 2008 to 2010.

She wrote freelance before her next editing position.

2010

Friedman worked at The American Prospect until she quit in 2010 to pick up more freelance writing work.

2011

In March 2011, Friedman became the executive editor at GOOD magazine.

After GOOD fired most of its writers and editors, including Friedman, they co-founded Tomorrow (magazine) together.

They started a Kickstarter, raising $20,000 in a day to fund the one-off print of the magazine.

Her freelance writings have been published by Rolling Stone, The New Republic, Newsweek, Glamour, ELLE, and Columbia Journalism Review.

Her feminist writings and commentary about politics, popular culture, attitudes about men and women and gay rights, and dating and sex have been widely referenced and quoted by other journalists and editorial writers.

Friedman writes a politics column at NYMag.com, published pie-charts at The Hairpin, disperses RealTalk advice for journalists at the Columbia Journalism Review, and contributes to The New Republic.

She is a proponent of incorporating GIFs in journalism.

Friedman was the founder of the Lady Journos’ Tumblr site, which curates the accomplishments and works by female journalists, speaks to issues of gender disparity in hiring and sexism in the workplace.

Friedman, and her colleague Aminatou Sow popularized the term "Shine Theory ".

The term is in reference to the commitment to collaborating with each other instead of competing against each other.

The Los Angeles–based GOOD magazine hired her as executive editor in March 2011.

As the executive editor, Friedman focused on moving the GOOD brand over multiple platforms and bringing a youthful style to its content, but that vision conflicted with the management.

2012

She was subsequently fired along with most of the magazine's editors in June 2012.

Friedman and her GOOD colleagues started a crowd-funded one-off magazine called Tomorrow.

That project was backed via Kickstarter, and raised $30,000 more than expected.

Friedman co-hosted the popular feminist podcast Call Your Girlfriend with her friend, tech entrepreneur Aminatou Sow.

The podcast was described as a cultural phenomenon where the hosts discussed politics and pop culture, ranging from the very serious (police abolition or abortion rights) to reality TV (Kardashians).

2013

The term first appeared in Friedman's article for The Cut for NYMag.com in 2013.

2014

Started in June 2014, it gained popularity before the podcasting boom and eventually evolved into a show which goes beyond the initial catch-up phone calls, with themed episodes and guest interviews of primarily politicians, activists, and writers.

The podcast ended in February 2022.

2020

Friedman and Aminatou Sow co-wrote Big Friendship: How We Keep Each Other Close which was released July 17, 2020.

The book is a hybrid, combining memoir with cultural criticism and "an examination of friendship’s role in society."

As the title suggests, they introduce a new concept of 'big friendship' to emphasize the importance of friendships in our lives and create a term to describe the close friendships which can be as much or more influential in our lives than romantic partnerships.

Sow described the lack of vocabulary they both found to describe their close adult friendships in their 30s, including their own decade-long friendship,"'There is something about the words bestie or BFF or even best friend that imply that it’s an exclusive relationship that you have with one person. And it feels a little infantilizing to me. [...] This term big friendship was meant to define friendships that are complicated and nuanced, friendships that you have had for a long time and that you want to keep in your life for a long time.'"One of the reasons for giving friendships a term to express their seriousness was to encourage readers "to stop seeing these relationships as something that can be put on hold while we focus on careers or marriages or children."
