Judith Frehm Blinken is an American writer and editor best known as the mother of Antony Blinken, the current United States Secretary of State. Born in the United States, she married Donald Blinken, a prominent diplomat and investment banker, in 1955. The couple had two sons, Antony and David, before divorcing in 1970. Following the divorce, Judith relocated to Paris, France, where she raised Antony, immersing him in a bilingual environment that influenced his early education and worldview. During this period, she worked as an editor and writer, contributing to various publications while fostering her son's interest in international affairs. Throughout her life, Judith has maintained a relatively private profile, focusing on her professional pursuits in writing and editing. Her time in Paris not only shaped her family's trajectory but also connected her to influential circles in European cultural and intellectual communities. She returned to the United States later in life, though details of her later career and personal endeavors remain less documented. Judith's role in Antony Blinken's upbringing, particularly her decision to live abroad, has been noted in biographical accounts of her son as a formative influence on his diplomatic career.
