Claire Lehmann

Claire Lehmann (née Jensen;[1] born 18 July 1985)[2] is an Australian journalist, publisher, and the founding editor of Quillette.

[6] According to the newspaper The Australian, Lehmann's story about the controversy surrounding Google engineer James Damore precipitated the venture's success.

[7] Lehmann has contributed to publications including The Guardian, Scientific American, Tablet, and ABC News.

[13] Lehmann is seen as part of the intellectual dark web (IDW) due to publishing Quillette which Politico has referred to as "the unofficial digest of the IDW" which "prides itself on publishing 'dangerous' ideas other outlets won't touch", and criticising "what they see as left-wing orthodoxy".

[3] The Sydney Morning Herald named Lehmann in their "Ten Aussies who shook the world in tech and media in 2018" citing that her online magazine, Quillette, has "attracted as many as 2 million followers a month, [and] is starting to gain significant traction in tech and libertarian circles in the US".
