My Lady Alpha
There are women who inspire me with their compassion and determination. British activist Helen Bamber was one, working with young Holocaust survivors at the end of the Second World War, when she was little more than a teenager herself, and once in the UK creating the charity that we now call Freedom From Torture. Leah Tsemel is a more recent example – the Israeli lawyer who battles for the rights of Palestinians again and again, and is defeated again and again, and still keeps going. But I have never met either of these admirable ladies. The dragon I want to talk about is someone who has been with me in body and spirit for over twenty years of my life, and her support has enabled me to stretch out my hand and support others.
