KGNU's Claudia Cragg speaks here (click on 'pod' link next to title to listen to the interview) with Pamela Hodges of ipaintiwrite.com.

She is "Pamela, not Pam. The non-stick spray ruined the shortened version of (her) name.
She writes about art, creativity, and everyday life with cat barf and seven litter boxes."

This is the story of one woman's creativity from Canada, to Japan, to the US, via photography, graphic design and sheer determination.

She recently wrote a highly respected article for TomDispatch's TomGram on 'Social Democracy for Dummies', a discussion which is particularly pertinent for #Election2016.

She is also the author of many well-known books including 

They Were Soldiers

War Is Not Over When It's Over

Kabul in Winter

Women Who Kill

Next Time She'll Be Dead

Ms. Jones is an independent scholar, journalist, photographer, and the author of ten books of nonfiction. 

Her work focuses on women "and other underdogs" and on the historical/social/political structures which, she considers, do so much to perpetuate injustice.

She has written extensively about violence against women, reported from Afghanistan, Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East on the impact of war upon civilians, and embedded with U.S. forces in Afghanistan to report on the damage done to America’s soldiers.

Widely published, her articles currently appear most often in The Nation and online at TomDispatch.com. She holds a PhD in English and history from the University of Wisconsin.

In recent years, her work has received generous support from the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, the Lannan Foundation, and the U.S.-Norway Fulbright Foundation. She is now (2015-16) an associate of the Charles Warren Center for Studies in American History at Harvard University
