started a #wikipedia article on German-born American anthropologist Hanna Kaiser Papanek (1927-2017); as a child she moved to Czechoslovakia, France, and New York to flee the Nazis. She sailed from Lisbon to New York City on the SS Nyassa in December 1940; the ship full of refugees was under distress on arrival. She earned a PhD at Harvard, and studied women's lives in Pakistan in the 1950s, Indonesia in the 1970s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanna_Papanek @wikiwomeninred #Pakistan #Indonesia #purdah
@PennamitePLR Well she sounds entirely fascinating. I was clicking around looking for an image of her and saw this article which I read in machine-translated form and it speaks strongly to her character.
@jessamyn She's one of the subjects I keep checking, wait, somebody must already have started an article about her... but no. (Now I think I might need to track down the Sultana's Dream, too...)
