Hell Made in Israel (25/7/02)

The Daily life of Kawther Salam

Dear Kawther,

Friday morning I was with a group of people who had breakfast with RickPolhamus, and he told us about you.Really I admire what you are doing. I am a professor of history at WrightState University in Dayton, Ohio (I teach U.S. history, particularly U.S.women’s history).

What can I do to help you? We were thinking that you maybe need morepublicity and contacts here in the U.S. in order to try to get permissiontravel outside of Israel. I think that many feminist academics here in theState, would be interested in your story and in assisting you.Perhaps you are already well connected with academics here, but if not, isthere anything I can do to assist you? I would be happy to send your storyout a among feminist academics I know. One of the people at the breakfastalso thought that MS magazine might be interested in your story, have youthought of contacting them? Or could we help you with that?

Anyway, Rick suggested I contact you and ask how I could be to help. So,just let me know.
