Dr. Karen Gail Lewis:

Hi, I'm Dr. Karen Gail Lewis, author of seven books, including With or Without a Man: Single Women Taking Control of Their Lives and 11 Stories on the Reality of Being Single in a Married World. I've been a marriage and family therapist for more than 38 years, dividing my time between offices in Cincinnati, Ohio, and Washington, D.C.

I've appeared and been featured in dozens of top U.S. newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, USA Today, Cosmopolitan, Woman's Day, and Ladies Home Journal. I also write a regular on-line column, "The Women's Room" for MySingleSpace.org. And I wrote a regular column, "He Said, She Said," for the DownTowner in Cincinnati.
