Melissa Brodsky is an independent investigative writer, Jewish history researcher, and founder of The Lioness Writes, a Substack publication dedicated to uncovering forgotten Jewish history, exposing antisemitism, and examining the political and ideological movements threatening democratic societies. Her work combines historical research, primary-source documentation, and investigative reporting to trace the people, organizations, and financial networks behind contemporary political movements.

A Jewish American and outspoken Zionist, Melissa focuses particularly on the rise of political Islam, the Muslim Brotherhood and its affiliated networks, and the intersection of Islamist activism and Western political institutions. Through her writing, she works to challenge historical revisionism, defend Jewish self-determination, and give readers the documented facts they need to recognize and confront antisemitism and extremism.
