Suzanne Venker

Bio

Suzanne Venker is an author, speaker, blogger, former classroom teacher, and mother of two. Suzanne’s writing tends toward the provocative – as evidenced by her first book, 7 Myths of Working Mothers: Why Children and (Most) Careers Just Don’t Mix (Spence Publishing, 2004), which argues that young children and demanding careers are incompatible. Her book is a Main Selection of Bookspan’s American Compass Book Club and is listed on Jeff Rubin’s Guide to Best Conservative Books. It was also endorsed by Dr. Laura Schlessinger and featured in Human Events, American Enterprise, Townhall.com, National Review, and Glamour. In 2007, 7 Myths became available in Europe.

Suzanne has appeared on CNN, FOX, C-Span, PAX, and EWTN – as well as hundreds of radio shows throughout the country – and her speaking engagements include various women’s groups, such as the Clare Boothe Luce Institute in Washington D.C. 

In 2006 Suzanne was featured in Kate O’Beirne’s Women Who Make the World Worse. (Thankfully, Suzanne was not among the list of women noted for “making the world worse.”) Her work has appeared in National Review, World Net Daily, Opposing Views, Human Events, and The Wall Street Journal.

Suzanne graduated from Boston University in 1990 and currently resides in St. Louis, MO, with her husband and two children.
