Blachor wrote the "Coming to America" parenting column for The New York Times Motherlode and also writes for The Washington Post, The Huffington Post, McSweeney’s, U.S. News & World Report, The Hairpin, Redbook, Good Housekeeping and The Rumpus. Her "Motherlode" article "Turn Your Princess-Obsessed Toddler into a Feminist in Eight Easy Steps"[1] went viral in 2014[2][3] and was the basis for the book The Feminist's Guide to Raising a Little Princess: How to Raise a Little Girl Who's Authentic, Joyful and Fearless-Even if She Refuses to Wear Anything But a Pink Tutu (2017). Kirkus Reviews wrote of The Feminist's Guide to Raising a Little Princess: "Humor abounds in this semicheeky examination of the pink world of princesses and little girls."[4]
Blachor's McSweeney's satire I Don't Hate Women Candidates – I Just Hated Hillary and Coincidentally I'm Starting to Hate Elizabeth Warren appeared in early 2019.[5] Blachor adopted the voice of a male voter, which Heidi Stevens in the Chicago Tribune described as "rings laugh-so-you-don’t-cry true".[6]
Raised in an Orthodox Jewish community,[7] Blachor is married to the Welsh novelist Matt Rees.[8] and lives in Luxembourg.[9]
