Description

Helen Benedict, both a novelist and professor of journalism At Columbia University, specializes in the Iraq war, women's issues, race and literature. She is the recipient of the James Aronson Award for Social Justice Journalism in 2008. Women soliders are participating in combat more than ever before, but only one in ten soldiers is female, making them painfully alone, thus the title of her latest nonfiction 'The Lonely Soldier: The Private War of Women Serving in Iraq'.
