Hadley Freeman
Hadley Clare Freeman (born 15 May 1978) is an American British journalist. She writes for The Sunday Times, having previously written for The Guardian.
In 2024, she won Broadsheet Columnist of the Year from The Press Awards.
Freeman moved to London from New York City in her youth. She has dual British and American citizenship.
Freeman suffered from anorexia and was treated in a psychiatric unit during six different periods between ages 13 and 17. After taking her A-level examinations while boarding at the Cambridge Centre for Sixth-form Studies, she read English literature at St Anne's College, Oxford, and edited the student newspaper Cherwell.
After a year in Paris, Freeman worked on the fashion desk of The Guardian for eight years. She joined The Guardian in 2000 and has worked for the newspaper as a staff writer and columnist and contributes to the UK version of Vogue. Following an article for The Guardian in July 2013 criticising misogynistic behaviour, Freeman received a bomb threat on Twitter.
Freeman's books include The Meaning of Sunglasses: A Guide to (Almost) All Things Fashionable, in 2009 and Be Awesome: Modern Life for Modern Ladies in 2013, which was described by Jennifer Lipman in The Jewish Chronicle as "a detailed attack on how women are both portrayed and conditioned to act in public life". Life Moves Pretty Fast appeared in 2015.
In March 2020, House of Glass: The Story and Secrets of a Twentieth-Century Jewish Family, was published. It is an account of the lives of her grandmother Sala Glass and her three brothers Alex, Jacques, and Henri in Poland, France, and the United States during the course of the twentieth century. Karen Heller wrote in The Washington Post of Freeman being "an exacting historian" who "tackles anti-Semitism, Jewish guilt and success".
Freeman ended her Weekend Guardian column in September 2021 to concentrate on interviews for the newspaper. In November 2022, Freeman announced that she would be leaving The Guardian and would write for The Sunday Times.
