Pamela Blair has been a Broadway dancer, a social worker, a solo traveler through Africa and the Middle East, a single mother, a psychologist, and after retirement, a writer. A lover of mountains ever since she climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro in 1973, she’s hiked in the Andes, the Alps, the Pyrénées and the Sierra Nevada. She’s cycled on long-distance trips in the Rockies, Cuba, Austria, and Czechia. A serial dog mom, she’s now the adoptive mother of Luc, a rescue Cockapoo. As the daughter of a factory worker, Pamela has always favored the underdog, whether it be an actual stray, or a minority group whose rights are being trampled by the larger society. In the 1960s she worked in civil rights groups, anti-war efforts, and as a community organizer for an organization promoting the rights of welfare recipients. In the 1970s, she traveled for three years through Africa and the Middle East and saw how open-hearted even the poorest people could be. Their generosity, when they had next to nothing, made a profound impression on her. Later, as a psychologist, she worked for twenty-five years with foster children whose parents were lost to drug addiction. And for the past many years she’s volunteered with refugees from several war-torn countries. Despite her own good fortune in life, an affinity with the disadvantaged has been a powerful motivator. This same love for the underdog is what led her to write The Reluctant Womb, which describes how women suffered before Roe v. Wade.
