As a former college professor, Helen very much enjoys speaking to students and readers. She has met with English and History classes in public and independent schools; with college students in Women's Studies, Slavic Studies, Jewish Studies, Journalism and Memoir classes; with social workers, psychologists and psychiatrists at various mental health conferences; with women's groups and public library reading groups; with religious groups at synagogues and churches. She has recently traveled to Rome, Udine and Perugia, for the Italian translation of De Madre Infiglia and will be in Paris in the fall to discuss the French translations of her three books pertaining to Second Generation.
