LINDA LAWRENCE HUNT

Linda Lawrence Hunt, an Associate Professor of English, discovered Helga's story while Director of Writing at Whitworth College in Spokane, Washington. A graduate of the University of Washington, she researched Helga Estby's epic journey for her Ph.D. dissertation at Gonzaga University. A freelance writer, with articles in regional and national publications, she traveled throughout America and in Norway to reconstruct Helga's silenced story and the tapestry of a transitional era between Victorian assumptions and the "new woman" emerging at the turn-of-the-century. An engaging speaker, she also keynotes events, conferences, and retreats.

Linda now directs the Krista Foundation for Global Citizenship (see www.kristafoundation.org) with her husband Jim. Founded in 1998 after Krista, their 25-year-old married daughter, died in a bus accident while serving in a remote river valley in Bolivia, the Foundation encourages other young adults engaged in global service. Linda and Jim have two other adult children, Susan and Jefferson.
