Martha had been a professor of Classics, but decided that teaching wasn't for her. She came to the University of Texas at Austin to study for a second career as an academic librarian, studying Arabic and Persian (in addition to the five other languages she knew already from studying Classics). She completed her joint M.A. in Middle East Studies and library science at UT Austin, and worked for me as a student cataloging assistant early in my time there as the Middle East Studies Librarian. After graduation Martha accepted the position of Bibliographer for Islamic Law at Harvard. A little later, she accepted a job in the U.S. government. A few years ago she was diagnosed with a brain tumor. After surgery she left her job and moved back to California to be with her family. She passed away this week from complications related to the tumor.
