Abstract
[This issue of the Journal features several stories from the 2024 Biography Workshop for Writers of Women’s Stories. These stories are introduced below by guest editor Dr. Ini Dorcas Dah who was also my co-instructor.
Another rich addition to this issue is a biography of Iris Habib el Masri, the “History Nun,” by Mina Fouad Tawfike, co-instructor with me at the 2025 Biography Writers workshop at St. Athanasius Seminary in Cairo. The story of this extraordinary feminist pioneer who, in the words of her sister, wrote “with the blood of her heart, not with the ink of her pen” will amaze and delight you. Don’t miss the excerpt of her volume The Story of the Copts that follows.]
