About Paula Kamen: 
Paula Kamen, a Chicago journalist, is the author of Her Way: Young Women Remake the Sexual Revolution, which was noted as the first comprehensive "big picture" journalistic report of Generation X women's changing and enhanced sexual attitudes and choices. The book was praised in the New York Times, Chicago Tribune, Ms., Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, and many other publications. Her first book was Feminist Fatale: Voices from the 'Twentysomething' Generation Explore the Future of the 'Women's Movement,' another journalistic documentary which was highlighted as the first post-boomer feminist book.

She has held the position of "Visiting Research Scholar" with Northwestern University's Gender Studies Program since 1994. Her commentaries and book reviews have appeared in The New York Times, Washington Post, Salon, Ms., Chicago Tribune, In These Times, and more than a dozen anthologies. Kamen, who holds a bachelor's degree in journalism, is a 1989 graduate of the University of Illinois and an alum of Unit One/Allen Hall. In the past decade, she has spoken at more than 70 universities. Her most recent book is All in My Head: An Epic Quest to Cure an Unrelenting, Totally Unreasonable, and Only Slightly Enlightening Headache. The book, released by Da Capo in March 2005, is a memoir and journalistic report about chronic pain in America, especially how it affects women.
