Nicholas Kristof Biography
Nicholas Kristof is one of the most popular and richest Journalist who was born on April 27, 1959 in Chicago, Illinois, United States.
Half the Sky reached No. 1 on the best-seller lists. Carolyn See, a book critic of The Washington Post, said in her review: “Half the Sky is a call to arms, a call for help, a call for contributions, but also a call for volunteers. It asks us to open our eyes to this enormous humanitarian issue. It does so with exquisitely crafted prose and sensationally interesting material. … I really do think this is one of the most important books I have ever reviewed.” In Cleveland, a reviewer for The Plain Dealer said: “As Rachel Carson’s “Silent Spring” once catalyzed us to save our birds and be better stewards of our earth, ‘Half the Sky’ stands to become a classic, spurring us to spare impoverished women these terrors, and elevate them to turn around the future of their nations.” The Seattle Times review predicted that Half the Sky may “ignite a grass-roots revolution like the one that eliminated slavery.” In CounterPunch, Charles R. Larson declared: “Half the Sky is the most important book that I have read since Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring, published in 1962. I am not alone in saying that this is the most significant book that I have ever reviewed.”
Kristof was born in Chicago, Illinois, and grew up on a sheep and cherry farm in Yamhill, Oregon. He is the son of Jane Kristof (née McWilliams) and Ladis “Kris” Kristof (born Władysław Krzysztofowicz), both long-time professors at Portland State University in Portland, Oregon. His father was born of parents with Polish and Armenian ethnicity from Romania in the former Austria-Hungary, and immigrated to the United States after World War II. Kristof graduated from Yamhill Carlton High School, where he was student body president and school newspaper editor, and later became a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Harvard College. At Harvard, he studied government, interned at Portland’s The Oregonian and worked on The Harvard Crimson newspaper; “Alums recall Kristof as one of the brightest undergraduates on campus,” according to a profile in the Crimson. After Harvard, he studied law at Magdalen College, Oxford, as a Rhodes Scholar. He earned his law degree with first-class honors and won an academic prize. Afterward, he studied Arabic in Egypt for the 1983–84 academic year at The American University in Cairo. He has a number of honorary degrees.

Among many of the motivations for writing Half the Sky Kristof explained to Jane Wales of the World Affairs Council of Northern California that the idea for the book was sparked by the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests. After covering the protests, which resulted in some 500 deaths, Kristof and WuDunn were shocked to learn that roughly 39,000 Chinese girls died each year because they were not given the same access to food and medical care as boys. Yet WuDunn and Kristof could not find coverage of these deaths, even though they were far more numerous than the casualties at Tiananmen Square. That led them to dig deeper into questions of gender, Kristof said. Half the Sky covers topics such as sex trafficking and forced prostitution, contemporary slavery, gender-based violence, and rape as a weapon of war and method of justice, as it shines light on the multitude of ways women are oppressed and violated in the world.

In 2002, Kristof wrote a series of columns indirectly suggesting that Steven Hatfill, a former U.S. Army germ-warfare researcher named as a “person of interest” by the FBI might be a “likely culprit” in the anthrax attacks. Dr. Hatfill was never charged with any crime. In July 2004, Dr. Hatfill sued the Times and Kristof for libel, claiming defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Subsequently, Dr. Hatfill voluntarily dismissed Kristof as a defendant in the case when it became clear that the U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Va., lacked personal jurisdiction over Kristof. The suit continued against the Times itself, but was dismissed in 2004 on the basis that allegations within Kristof’s articles did not constitute defamation, albeit they appeared untrue.
