Moushira Abdel-Malek, Martha Roy: A Hymn on the Nile

Article for Al Ahram

Martha Roy: A woman of substance who knows exactly what she wants, she had decided a long time ago, and made up her mind to stay... and she did.

The following is an excerpt from the article.

Egypt is home! I know no other home!" says Dr Roy, or Martha, as I call her, whenever asked the ever posed question by everybody, if she had ever thought of leaving Egypt to America. She declares it with a deep sense of belonging to the Egyptian soil and to the country she loved most, and where she spent all her life. Asking her this question myself, anticipating her answer, she replies with a very quick, definite and sharp "NO!" that surprised me at its swiftness. She knows what she wants and she is quite comfortable with the modest life arrangement she got used to years and years ago.

Born in Tanta, Egypt, of an American father and mother, Martha Roy has lived here in Egypt for the past 87 years, totally rejecting even the thought of going back to America, her native country."
