Katherine Dolan | November 2018

Teacher, We Girls! is Katherine Dolan’s memoir about teaching English as a Second Language to young women in Najran, on the border of Saudi Arabia and Yemen. Within the school, locked and guarded by armed guards, the women take off their veils and show themselves as energetic actors in life’s drama.

Katherine Dolan | 2022

In 2022, inspired by a course at Chairman Me, Katherine started writing one short mystery story per week. Each story includes a new setting, a cast of repulsive characters and a sordid crime. Sometimes the stories become multi-parters, but every installment can be read in one sitting—on a commute, in the doctor’s waiting room, or just before bed.
