Jane Bristol-Rhys

Jane Bristol Rhys' parents thought that going to Kaduna, Nigeria in 1962 would be a great adventure; both of them had apparently read too many explorer books. Years later, after entering the American University in Cairo as an English literature major, Jane discovered anthropology and chose to pursue the understanding and communication of cultures as her avocation. Emirati Women is the culmination of over 24 years in the Middle East.
