Tara Westover is an American author. Born in Idaho to a father opposed to public education, she never attended school. An older brother taught her to read, and after that her education was erratic and haphazard, with most of her days spent working in her father’s junkyard or stewing herbs for her mother. She was seven­teen the first time she set foot in a classroom. After that first encounter with education, she pursued learning for a decade, graduating magna cum laude from Brigham Young University in 2008 and subsequently winning a Gates Cambridge Scholarship.

In 2018, she published her memoir, “Educated”, which explores her struggle to reconcile her desire for education and autonomy with her desire to be loyal to her family. “Educated” was an instant commercial and critical success, debuting at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list and remaining on the list for more than two years. It was also a finalist for several national awards, including the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, the PEN/Jean Stein Book Award, and the National Book Critics Circle Award. The New York Times named “Educated” one of the 10 Best Books of 2018, and the American Booksellers Asso­ciation voted it the Nonfiction Book of the Year. President Barack Obama included “Educated” on his annual reading list, calling it “remarkable,” and Bill Gates listed it as one of his favorite books of the year, saying, “It’s even better than you’ve heard.”

For her staggering impact, TIME Magazine named Westover one of the 100 most influential people of 2018. She was also awarded the 2021 National Humanities Medal by President Biden in a ceremony at the White House. Westover holds a PhD in intellectual history from Trinity College, Cambridge, and in 2019, she was the Rosenthal Writer in Residence at Harvard University.
