Early life

Career
Wall Street Journal
Strassel was a news assistant for the European edition of The Wall Street Journal in Brussels (1994–1996) and a staff writer covering technology for The Wall Street Journal Europe in London (1996–1999). She moved to New York in 1999 to cover real estate before joining the editorial page as an assistant features editor.[4]
She became a senior editorial writer and member of the editorial board of the Wall Street Journal in 2005.[5] In 2007, she began writing the long-running "Potomac Watch" column for the Wall Street Journal.[4]
By October 2019, President Trump had tweeted about Strassel or retweeted her commentary more than 20 times, including calling for a Pulitzer Prize for her.[6] In an October 2017 editorial, Strassel criticized Fusion GPS, "the intelligence outfit that commissioned former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele to compile the now infamous Trump–Russia dossier."[7]
Books
In 2006, Strassel co-wrote Leaving Women Behind: Modern Families, Outdated Laws (ISBN 0-7425-4545-8), which argues that government regulation interferes with marketplace initiatives to provide women with economic opportunity.
In June 2016, she published a book called The Intimidation Game: How the Left Is Silencing Free Speech, in which she "excoriates the left's use of campaign finance laws to stifle free speech and free association."[8]
On October 15, 2019, Strassel released Resistance (At All Costs): How Trump Haters are Breaking America.[9]
