Johanna Neuman

Johanna Neuman is a writer, historian, and political blogger of Substack’s Make Orwell Fiction Again. A former Nieman Fellow at Harvard, she covered the White House, the State Department, and Congress for USA Today and the Los Angeles Times. After receiving a PhD in history from American University, she wrote Gilded Suffragists: The New York Socialites Who Fought for Women’s Right to Vote, which documents the role of celebrity endorsements in galvanizing social change. It won an Independent Publishers’ Book Award. In Trump’s Superpower, she combines her love of history and knowledge of D.C. politics—and sights—to create a new take on both.
