Hadani Ditmars |
International journalist Hadani Ditmars will present the keynote address for
Women’s History Month at Boise State at 7 p.m. March 16 in the Student Union
Special Events Center. Ditmars, who is the author of the bestseller
Dancing in the No Fly Zone: A Woman’s Journey Through Iraq, will answer
questions and sign her books after the lecture. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m.
and the event is free and open to the public.
Ditmars’ experiences in Iraq, both before and after the U.S. invasion, have
allowed her unique insight into the culture, humanity and strength of the
Iraqi people. Her mixed European and Middle Eastern heritage allows her to
pass as an Iraqi woman and has offered her many opportunities not accessible
to other journalists. She has made powerful connections with the women of
Iraq and gives an unwavering voice to their experiences and struggles.
