Elaine Weiss Biography

Elaine Weiss is an award-winning journalist and critically acclaimed author recognized for her expertise on women's history, voting rights, and civic engagement. Her insightful narrative histories and frequent media appearances have established her as a respected voice in discussions about American women's rights.

A MacDowell Colony Fellow and Pushcart Prize “Editor’s Choice” honoree, Weiss authored "The Woman’s Hour: The Great Fight to Win the Vote," which has been hailed as an essential account of the women’s suffrage movement in America. This book not only received a GoodReads Readers’ Choice Award and was short-listed for the 2019 Chautauqua Prize but also won the American Bar Association’s 2019 Silver Gavel Award. It has been adapted for young readers and is used in schools and libraries nationwide, reflecting its impact on educational curricula. Steven Spielberg’s Amblin production company is adapting "The Woman’s Hour" for the screen, with Hillary Rodham Clinton serving as Executive Producer.

Her previous work, "Fruits of Victory: The Woman’s Land Army in the Great War," was featured in Smithsonian Magazine and on C-Span, gaining significant attention for its exploration of women's contributions during World War I. Weiss holds a graduate degree from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University and has been recognized with awards from the Society of Professional Journalists.

Weiss is a popular public speaker who has presented her work at events hosted by prestigious organizations such as the League of Women Voters of the United States and the Tennessee Municipal League, and at institutions including the University of California, Santa Barbara, and the New York Historical Society. Her features have appeared in numerous national publications, including op-eds and essays in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Christian Science Monitor. Additionally, Weiss served as a historical advisor to the NYC Public Theater’s production of the historical musical "SUFFS," underscoring her role as a critical resource in historical accuracy and storytelling in theater.
