Frontline Feministas

Katia Nasser is originally from southern Lebanon

Whether it's the front lines in Crawford, Texas or the war zone that is the border between Israel and Lebanon, the antiquated notion that women need to be protected from the horrors of war and politics is slowly melting away. Let's hope they offer a different brand of sanity than the fellas.

Speaking from Aljazeera's office in Beirut, Katia Nasser, whose name and face became familiar among Arab audiences in a matter of days said: "I volunteered to go to south Lebanon, although I usually work in the newsroom in Doha. The management did not discourage me from going for being a woman."
