Anita Bartholomew is a former longtime contributing editor and contributor to both the US and international editions of
Reader’s Digest
, where she covered topics spanning health, science, social issues, and politics.
She is the author of
Siege: An American Tragedy
, a detailed account of the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, and the co-author of the critically acclaimed award-winning medical memoir:
Something to Prove: A Daughter’s Journey to Fulfill a Father’s Legacy.
In connection with her reporting, she’s appeared as a guest on TV news, true crime, and talk shows. Two of her long-form narratives have been adapted for TV films.
Her new book,
Sacrificial Lambs: A Liberal Reporter Exposes How the Progressive Left Harms Children in the Name of Gender Ideology
(Pitchstone November 2025), is the result of a multi-year investigation into how a movement with no basis in fact or science overtook much of Western society, and targeted its children.
Sacrificial Lambs
takes readers where other books haven’t, showing them the ideology’s roots, trunk, branches, and means of pollination.
It exposes what should have been obvious: no one could have gained access to millions of youngsters without first indoctrinating adults. Liberals and moderates were lulled into supporting this cult-like movement, believing they were being asked only to live up to its two-word slogan: “Be kind.”
The truth, as
Sacrificial Lambs
exposes, is disturbingly different.
