Constance Grady

Senior Correspondent

Constance Grady is a senior correspondent on the Culture team for Vox, where since 2016 she has covered books, publishing, gender, celebrity analysis, and theater. In her essay series The Purity Chronicles, she explores the gendered norms of the 1990s and 2000s, while in her newsletter Next Page, she highlights the essentials of contemporary literature.

Constance has completed the National Critics Institute and the Columbia Publishing Course. Prior to writing for Vox, she worked in book publishing. She thinks it’s neat that Octavia Spencer played an Ugly Betty character named Constance Grady, but she does wish the character weren’t an ICE agent.
