Siobhan Dowd wrote our "Silenced Writer" articles beginning with issue 3 in early 1992 and never missed even one all the way through issue 63. When we conducted an interview with her in 1991, she was just 31 years old. She was wise, kind, and determined, and over time only became more so. Although she told us when she got breast cancer, she gave no hint that she was concerned for her life; even just a few months ago when she passed the writing of the article over to her dear friend Sara Whyatt, saying she had to focus on her fiction. She will be so missed, as a person, a writer, an advocate of fairness and free speech around the world.
