When Dr. Paul Salem, former Director of the Lebanese Center for Policy Studies, called me shortly before the 1996 parliamentary elections to ask if I was ready to write a study on the participation of Lebanese women in politics, my first reaction was, “Paul, I am no woman activist. You know that.” He laughed and said, “That’s why I’m calling you. I want an objective view.”
