Susan Maushart (born 1958) is an American author, journalist and feminist.[1] She lived in Perth, Western Australia, for over 20 years and now lives in New York City.[2]

Maushart's journalistic career in Australia varied between working for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation[3] and regular columns in the Weekend Australian.[4] Maushart is also known for her ABC Radio series, StoryCatcher.[3]

Her books have covered wide-ranging topics from historical, to issues related to motherhood and marriage to that of teenagers interacting with modern media.

Her book Moore River Native Settlement won the Adelaide Festival Non-fiction Award in 1994.[5] and was short listed, in the Western Australian Premier's Book Award, 1994.[6]

Her book The Winter of Our Disconnect, published in 2010, chronicles her family's experiment in disconnecting from technology.[citation needed] The book details her realization of technology's presence in her household and her execution of dealing with it, while documenting her challenges and frustrations along the way.[7] She banned screens from her house for six months and in the end had the results she wanted.[7] The Daily Telegraph said this story "is a channel to a wider view into the impact of new media on the lives of families, into the very heart of the meaning of home."[8]
