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.
