Helen Benedict

Helen is publishing The Lonely Soldier: The Private War of Women Serving in Iraq with Beacon in April. Here is her terrific Huffington Post about veteran violence:

the hooks being the nine murders of women in Ft. Carson Colorado alone! The number of veteran suicides and attempts jumping six times since the Iraq War began!

After descrying the situation, she goes about making suggestions. Brava.
