DESCRIPTION:SAND QUEEN is a startling, moving, riveting and disturbing story that 
 unfolds in and around a U.S. military prison in the desert in Iraq. It is 
 told from the points of view of two women: one a  U.S. soldier and the 
 other an Iraqi medical student.\n\n\nThe novel is based on Benedict’s 
 research for her most recent nonfiction book, THE LONELY SOLDIER: THE 
 PRIVATE WAR OF WOMEN SERVING IN IRAQ which has won several awards, 
 including the EMMA (Exception Merit in Media Award) from the National 
 Women's Political Caucus and the Ken Book Award, both in 
 2010.\n\n\nBenedict has testified twice to Congress on behalf of women 
 soldiers, and lectures at colleges and military academies around the 
 country about gender justice and the military. Her book and play about 
 women soldiers inspired the the February 2011 class action suit against the 
 Pentagon and Secretaries of Defense Rumsfeld and Gates on behalf of 
 military women who have been sexually harassed or assaulted while 
 serving.\n\nA play Benedict wrote based on her interviews with women 
 soldiers, THE LONELY SOLDIER MONOLOGUES, was produced in 2009 and 2010 at 
 two New York City Theaters, The Theater for the New City and La Mama 
 Experimental Theatre Club, and is currently being performed at several 
 campus theaters around the country. The play is available for further 
 productions. See Helen Benedict's website to find out about her other books
