Last night, the Washington Report's bookstore, Middle East Books and More, hosted a talk by author Laura Schor about her new book, Sophie Halaby in Jerusalem.
Sophie Halaby became the first Arab woman to study art in Paris and lived as a professional painter in Jerusalem. Her life was marked by violence and war, including the Arab Revolt from 1936 to 1939, the Nakba in 1948, and the Six-Day War in 1967. Laura Schor’s compelling biography shines new light on this little-known artist and enriches our understanding of modern Palestinian history.
