Worth Noting

Just finished this delightful read. Jennifer Steil tells her story of a recent year spent in Yemen as an editor for an English language Yemeni paper.
It's warm, personal, and a tiny window into day-to-day life in a Muslim culture--especially as it pertains to women.  As a westerner, she has the unique ability to 'see both sides'--or in her perspective, function as a third gender with much more freedom than a native Yemeni woman.  I hope she has more books in her future...
