Career
Her first book, Big Girls Don't Cry (2010), was a New York Times Notable Book of 2010,[citation needed] and the winner of the Ernesta Drinker Ballard Book Prize.[citation needed] Her second book, All the Single Ladies (2016), has been referred to as a followup of the first, and presents, in the words of Gillian Whitemarch of the NYT, a "well-researched, deeply informative examination of women’s bids for independence, spanning centuries."[3]

Traister received an "Making Trouble / Making History Award" from the Jewish Women's Archive in 2012 at its annual luncheon, where Gloria Steinem was the presenter.[4][5] In 2012, Traister received a Mirror Award for Best Commentary in Digital Media for two essays that appeared in Salon ("'30 Rock' Takes on Feminist Hypocrisy–and Its Own," and "Seeing 'Bridesmaids' is a Social Responsibility") and one that appeared in the The New York Times ("The Soap Opera Is Dead! Long Live The Soap Opera!").[6]
