Dr. Alice Rothchild is an activist, a retired OB/GYN physician, an author and filmmaker, a founder of Jewish Voice for Peace’s Health Advisory Council, someone who’s contributed insightful pieces to Mondoweiss, The Electronic Intifada, and many others outlets… Her documentary film, Voices Across the Divide, won great accolades at the 2013 Boston Palestine Film Festival. And scroll down further for a list of her widely acclaimed books in two different genres.
Did we mention that for several years now we have benefited greatly from the contributions Alice has made to Just World Ed through her service on our board?
Very soon, she’ll be traveling (back) to the DC region (the “DMV”), and we hope our friends around the region can find one or more chances to see and hear her in person!
