One-on-one with Gayle Tzemach Lemmon: Why It is So Important to Tell the Stories of Heroic Women

Too much of world history is written by men about men for men.  The result is that cultural biases of a male-centric world are reinforced.  But another consequence is that the vitally important stories about heroic women who are shaping our communities an our futures go unnoticed.  Gayle Tzemach Lemmon, author of the Daughters of Kobani, is addressing this shortcoming with powerful books telling the story of remarkable women across the greater Middle East.  We discuss with her the future of the US in the region, the future of women in the region and how average American can make a difference in resetting our priorities.  Don’t miss it.
