Dominique Browning is an American writer and editor. From 1995 to 2007 she was the editor-in-chief of the Conde Nast shelter publication House & Garden. Prior to House & Garden she worked at Savvy, American Photographer, Esquire, Newsweek, and Mirabella. As the editor-in-chief of the re-launched House & Garden, she said she introduced global environment issues to the magazine, and sought to search for the more meaningful ideals behind the consumerism of Condé Nast publications.[1]

Life

Browning graduated from Wesleyan University in 1977 with a major in philosophy, literature, and history, and is a classically trained pianist.[2][3][4] She is the founder of Moms Clean Air Force, an environmental protection organization dedicated to improving air quality standards, maintains a personal blog called 'Slow Love Life', and her writing is regularly featured in The New York Times and Time.[5] She currently contributes to multiple newspapers and magazines, and has a monthly column on the website of the Environmental Defense Fund.[6]

Browning's books deal with her personal life. She was married to Nicholas Lemann,[10] with whom she has two sons, Alexander and Theodore. Her most recent book, Slow Love, recounts her post-divorce relationship with "Stroller", the pseudonym of the legally separated man with whom she had a seven-year relationship, and who repeatedly asked her why it mattered that he was married.
