Joanna Schroeder is an editor, media critic and co-author of the book TALK TO YOUR BOYS (Workman Publishing, September 2025). She serves as Managing Editor of Experts at YourTango and with the Relationship Fitness department.
As a mother of two teenage sons and a young daughter, as well as the descendant of four generations of pioneering women (and men!) who fought for equal rights of all sorts, she is uniquely interested in the intersection of gender and emotional health in children today and how emotional wellness can help progress society as a whole.
She has been published in The New York Times, The Boston Globe, Redbook, Esquire, Cosmopolitan and more. She co-authored a booklet designed to help parents educate tweens and teens about the harms of anti-democracy and hate-based idologies online, available at no cost via The Wester States Center.
She maintains an active and engaged Twitter presence with over 25,000 followers and shares quick, helpful thoughts on TikTok. The bulk of her new writing appears on Zooming Out, via Substack, available to all readers at no cost.
