Helen Andrews

Helen Andrews (née Rittelmeyer)[1] is an American conservative[1] political commentator and author.

Education

Andrews received a Bachelor of Arts in Religious studies from Yale University.[2]

Career

Andrews is a former senior editor at The American Conservative and the former managing editor of the Washington Examiner.[3][4][1][5] While working at First Things, Andrews began writing Boomers, a book with the thesis that members of the "Baby Boomer" generation harmed American culture.[6] The book chooses as its six examples Steve Jobs, Aaron Sorkin, Jeffrey Sachs, Camille Paglia, Al Sharpton, and Sonia Sotomayor.[6]

From 2012-2017 she was a think tank researcher at Center for Independent Studies in Australia. She also won a Sydney Award in 2018 for her essay "Shame Storm" which explored online dynamics and cancel culture through a personal lens.

In January 2025 Commonplace magazine announced that they had brought Helen on as "our new features editor." Commonplace is a magazine launched by American Compass and is focused on right-of-center political, economic and cultural issues.

In September 2025, Andrews gave a speech at the National Conservatism Conference that was later turned into a widely discussed essay for Compact magazine.[7][8] The essay argued that wokeness in American culture was driven by a "great feminization" as woman entered important positions in American society.[9][7] She wrote that wokeness is fundamentally female, as it prioritizes "empathy over rationality, safety over risk, cohesion over competition."[9]
