“If Muslims and Christians can live together in the court of Mahmud,” said Filippo, “I imagine they can live together in one city.”
“True,” said Salinas. “And it will be our job to help them in all ways we can. Men of medicine have a commitment to their patients to assist them in all facets of life.”

I’m so excited to see that we’re now publishing on this collection of essays written by the original cohort of students in our first Stephens College MFA in Screenwriting which I edited and for which author Cari Beauchamp wrote a wonderful forward covering the life and influence of Frances Marion.
These 23 essays cover a range of female screenwriters from the early years of film through the 1940s, women whose work helped create the unforgettable stories and characters beloved generations of audiences but whose names have been left out of most film histories. Not this one. This collection is dedicated to those women and written by a group of women grateful to stand on the shoulders of those who came before – as a beacon to those who will come after.

“You say you want to see the world, see how government works in other places, when do you plan to start?” Salinas asked.
Silva added, “Travel enriches the soul – and can only be done when one has no family to leave behind, no wife, no children, free — as you are today, Filippo.”
“But, truth be told, I am fascinated with the English colonies in the Americas,” Filippo admitted. “Of late, my thoughts have been to witness this for myself.”
