Leslie Morgan Steiner lives in Washington, DC with her husband and three young children. She recently completed her third nonfiction book, The Baby Chase, which explores the ways surrogate pregnancies are changing the face of the American family and expanding what it means to be a mother today. The Baby Chase will be published by St Martin's Press in November 2013.

Her 2009 memoir about surviving domestic violence, Crazy Love, was a New York Times bestseller, People Pick, Book of the Week for The Week magazine, and subject of the first TED Talk by a domestic violence survivor.

She is the editor of the critically-acclaimed anthology Mommy Wars: Stay-at-Home and Career Moms Face Off on Their Choices, Their Lives, Their Families (Random House 2006) a frank, surprising, and refreshing look at American motherhood from 26 different perspectives.

From 2006-2008 she wrote over 500 columns for the Washington Post’s popular daily on-line work/​family column, “On Balance.”

She currently writes the weekly column, “Two Cents on Modern Motherhood,” for Modern Mom and Mommy Track’d: Managing the Chaos of Modern Motherhood.

Steiner has been a guest on the Today Show, National Public Radio, ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox News, MSNBC, and has been profiled by Newsweek, BusinessWeek, Elle, Parenting, Parents, Self, Glamour, Vanity Fair, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times and The Washington Post.

Steiner holds a BA in English from Harvard College.

Her writing was first published in Seventeen Magazine when she was 21. As a writer and editor at Seventeen, she explored subjects ranging from eating disorders to teen runaways to family relationships. She went on to contribute to Mademoiselle, Money Magazine, and other magazines, and to work as a restaurant critic and feature writer for New England Monthly. Her essay “Starving for Perfection” appeared in the anthology The College Reader (Harper Collins).

In addition to years as a nonfiction magazine writer and editor, Steiner has an MBA degree in marketing from the Wharton School of Business.After graduating from Wharton in 1992 with an MBA in Marketing, she launched Splenda Brand Sweetener throughout Australia, the Mid-East and Latin America for Johnson & Johnson, the world’s largest consumer healthcare company.

She returned to her hometown of Washington, DC in 2001 to become General Manager of the 1.1 million circulation Washington Post Magazine, a position she held for five years.

Over the years, she has turned her professional experience into advocacy for abused women as a spokeswoman at The Harriet Tubman Center in Minneapolis.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did you write Mommy Wars?

Whether you work or stay at home after having kids has become one of the defining issues of our generation for college-educated American women today. For me, as a working mom with three kids, I was curious about – and sometimes jealous of – moms who decided to stay home. So I asked 26 REAL experts on motherhood – MOMS -- to explain what life is REALLY like for working and stay-at-home mothers today. My hope was that by explaining our lives to each other, we'd all feel better about our unique approaches to motherhood.

Everyday is a struggle, everyday is a success! You are trying your best to heal and move forward and that is a step in the right direction. Self Worth is not selfish, it's needed so you know how to love yourself first!

Carolyn's Hope

Carolyn Cox, Domestic Violence Survivor

"I am moving on with my life and I want to give hope to others that they can do the same. All abuse victims…we need to keep on going. We need to quit walking on eggshells and we need to put on our shoes and become our own person. We cannot mislead ourselves into going back into relationships for our children or whatever excuse we come up with."
Carolyn Cox, Domestic Violence Survivor

A Will to Survive

Carolyn beaten nearly to her death

Carolyn lived 40 years of her life as a victim of domestic violence…. Until she nearly became one of the fatalities of domestic violence.

Carolyn’s story is one of extreme bravery and fortitude. Her fight to survive is an inspiration to all victims of domestic violence.

Carolyn now travels the country talking to groups to warn others about the dangers of ignoring the silent secret of domestic violence.

The Messages Continues

"I just would like for women, like me, to realize that you can get beyond it. It’s tough, but you need to take that step...I don’t think they are blossoming or growing when they are under or stifled to that extent. I don’t think the children are either. I am sorry…I am pained because I think my children lost their childhood. I thought I was staying in it for them to take care of them, but I think in the long run, they really lost so much of their life."
- Carolyn Cox,
Domestic Violence Survivor

Carolyn Today!
Carolyn's Darkest Hour
The Message Continues
We Have the Power to Stop Domestic Violence

"We have the power to stop domestic violence. We have to say violence is never okay. We can do that in our community…in our neighborhoods, county, state, nation and internationally. We can stop domestic violence."
Jane Farmer, Executive Director of Turning Point - Woodstock, Illinois

Prosecuting the Case

"A part of me was fearful for her that they would come back not guilty because it could happen in any case.

It was one of the toughest cases that I have prosecuted because of the resources the defendant had. We had a lot of experts that we had to impeach and convince the jury not to believe them. We had to fight them with our own experts. In an attempted murder case…and this was an attempted murder case, with an eyewitness to it…being Carolyn the victim…

It was the end of her battle against this defendant who almost killed her. It was very emotional. It is the type of verdict that you would expect to see in movies.

Carolyn’s case sends a message to abused women that it can happen to anybody. She came forward in this case with such high publicity I think a lot of women realized that they are not alone. http://www.carolynsilentsecret.com/contact-us.html
