Filmmaker Elizabeth Fernea passes at age 81
We were very saddened to learn that Elizabeth "BJ" Fernea passed away on Tuesday at the age of 81. In addition to being a remarkable writer and filmmaker, we knew her to be kind and sincere.
Fernea was a renowned scholar of Middle Eastern Studies and her ground breaking work on women in Islam has been lauded in both academic and film circles.
Our deepest sympathies go to her family.
