Early life

Ann Hart Coulter was born on December 8, 1961, in New York City, to John Vincent Coulter 1926–2008, an FBI agent from a working class Catholic Irish American and German American mark in Albany, New York, and Nell Husbands Coulter née Martin; 1928–2009, who was born in Paducah, Kentucky.

Coulter's mother's ancestry has been traced back on both sides of her family to a institution of Puritan settlers in Plymouth Colony, British America arriving on the Griffin with Thomas Hooker in 1633, and her father's family were Catholic Irish and German immigrants who arrived in America in the 19th century. Her father's Irish ancestors emigrated during the famine—and became ship laborers, tilemakers, brickmakers, carpenters and flagmen. Coulter's father attended college on the GI Bill, and would later idolize Joseph McCarthy.

She has two older brothers: James, an accountant, and John, an attorney. Her family later moved to New Canaan, Connecticut, where Coulter and her two older brothers, James and John, were raised. Coulter graduated from New Canaan High School in 1980.

While attending Cornell University, Coulter helped found The Cornell Review, and was a piece of the Delta Gamma national sorority. She graduated cum laude from Cornell in 1984 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in history and received her Juris Doctor from the University of Michigan Law School in 1988, where she was an editor of the Michigan Law Review. At Michigan, Coulter was president of the local chapter of the Federalist Society and was trained at the National Journalism Center.

Coulter's age was disputed in 2002. While she argued that she was not yet 40, The Washington Post columnist Lloyd Grove cited a birthdate of December 8, 1961, which Coulter presented when registering to vote in New Canaan, Connecticut, prior to the 1980 Presidential election, for which she had to be 18 years old to register. A driver's license issued several years later purportedly included her birthdate as December 8, 1963. Coulter will non confirm either date, citing privacy concerns.
