has taught at several American universities as well as the University of


Sierra Leone. A former Deputy Director of the United Nations Division for


the Advancement of Women in Vienna, Austria, she has served as a Special

numerous requests from her family, faculty colleagues, alumnae, students


and friends around the world.
