Suzanne Moore
Edit ProfileEducation
After various jobs in Britain and overseas, Moore embarked on a psychology degree at Middlesex Polytechnic (now Middlesex University), but soon switched to cultural studies. She began a Doctor of Philosophy and journalism career simultaneously after graduation, but ceased work on her doctorate after 18 months.
Career
In The Guardian in 1995, Moore falsely stated that Germaine Greer had undergone a hysterectomy at 25. Greer responded by accusing Moore of possessing "hair bird"s-nested all over the place, fuck-me shoes and three fat inches of cleavage." In January 2013, a "throwaway" comment in an essay by Moore, which had been reprinted by the New Statesman, was criticised on Twitter as transphobic, to which she responded. She finished sixth with 0.6% of the vote, forfeiting her deposit.
She has lived in the area for 20 years, and has three daughters.
Politics
During her career Moore has written for Marxism Today, The Mail on Sunday, Daily Mail, The Independent, The Guardian, and the New Statesman. Moore stood as an independent candidate for the constituency of Hackney North and Stoke Newington in the 2010 U.K General Election due to her disillusionment with the main political parties.
