Early life and education
Greenhouse was born in a Jewish family in New York City, to H. Robert Greenhouse, a physician and professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, and Dorothy (née Greenlick). She received her Bachelor of Arts degree in government from Radcliffe College of Harvard University in 1968, where she was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. She received her Master of Studies in Law from Yale Law School in 1978.

She married lawyer Eugene R. Fidell on January 1, 1981, in Washington, D.C., in a Jewish ceremony. Together they have one daughter, filmmaker Hannah Fidell (born October 7, 1985).
Career
Greenhouse began her 40-year career with The New York Times as a reporter in Albany, covering state government in the paper's bureau. After completing her master's degree on a Ford Foundation fellowship, she returned to the Times and covered 29 sessions of the Supreme Court from 1978 to 2007, with the exception of two years during the mid-1980s, when she covered Congress. She has published over 2,800 articles in the Times since 1981. She has appeared on PBS' Washington Week as a regular visitor.
Greenhouse accepted The New York Times' invitation for an early retirement at the end of the Supreme Court session in 2008. On June 12, 2008, seven of the nine sitting justices attended a farewell party for Greenhouse.
Before Roe vs. Wade, Greenhouse and co-author Reva Siegel published a book on the evolution of the abortion controversy in 2010. This was largely a collection of primary documents, with some commentary.
Greenhouse, a writer who wrote a biweekly opinion column for The New York Times from 2010 to 2021, centered around the Supreme Court.
In a 2006 address to Harvard University, Greenhouse blasted US policies and activities at Guantanamo Bay, Abu Ghraib, and Haditha. Greenhouse said she began weeping a few years ago at a Simon & Garfunkel concert because her generation hadn't done a better job of running the country than previous generations.
In 1998, Greenhouse was named the Pulitzer Prize in Journalism (Beat Reporting) for "illuminating coverage of the United States Supreme Court." She was given the Goldsmith Career Award for Excellence in Journalism in 2004 and the John Chancellor Award for Excellence in Journalism. In 2006, she was named a Radcliffe Institute Medalist.
In a speech given in 2006, she said, "I was the Harvard stringer for the Boston Herald, which regularly published, and paid me for, my student protests and other Harvard newsworthy activities." However, when it came time to look for a job in journalism during my senior year, the Herald would not even interview me, and neither would the Boston Globe because these newspapers had no interest in recruiting women.
