Kawther Salam's Diary 

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 Rick Polhamus, and he told us about you. Really I admire what you are doing. I am a professor of history at Wright State 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 more publicity and contacts here in the U.S. in order to try to get permission travel outside of Israel. I think that many feminist academics here in the State, would be interested in your story and in assisting you. Perhaps you are already well connected with academics here, but if not, is there anything I can do to assist you? I would be happy to send your story out a among feminist academics I know. One of the people at the breakfast also thought that MS magazine might be interested in your story, have you thought 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.
