About Carol

carol mithers

CAROL MITHERS decided that she wanted to be a writer around the time she learned to walk. “My only sorrow is that it takes so long to write things down,” she noted in a 4th grade assignment. She got her first paid byline at 16.

She’s written four books, including  Mighty Be Our Powers, written with Nobel Peace Prize laureate Leymah Gbowee, a finalist for the Dayton Literary Peace Prize and reprinted in fourteen languages.  

Her newspaper articles have appeared in The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, and L.A. Weekly. Her Village Voice cover story, “My Life as a Man,” was syndicated internationally and made into an NBC movie of the week.

Her magazine work has been published in Capital & Main, DAME, Talk Poverty, Smithsonian, O the Oprah Magazine, Architectural Digest, Ladies’ Home Journal, Glamour, The Nation, Los Angeles, Salon, The Daily Beast and many others.

As a consultant, free-lance editor and volunteer she’s worked with the Op-Ed Project, Nobel Women’s Initiative, The Global Fund for Women and Minds Matter of Los Angeles.

Carol is married to sociologist and author James William Gibson, and is the mother of a daughter, Melissa Gibson. She lives in Los Angeles and currently serves an aging and very demanding rescue dog.
