Gail Collins joined The New York Times in 1995 as a member of the editorial board and later as an op-ed columnist. In 2001 she was appointed editorial page editor—the first woman to hold that post at The Times. In 2007, she stepped down to finish her book “When Everything Changed: The Amazing Journey of American Women from 1960 to the Present.” She returned as a columnist in time to cover the 2008 presidential election. Collins is also the author of “America’s Women: Four Hundred Years of Dolls, Drudges, Helpmates and Heroines.” Her new book is “No Stopping Us Now: The Adventures of Older Women in American History” (Little, Brown). Before joining The Times, Collins was a columnist at Newsday, The New York Daily News, and a reporter for United Press International.
