The St Andrews Economist 
To the Editors,
I teach English in Guatemala, and I while was researching articles in English under femicide, I came across your publication.
I studied journalism many years ago in the US, and I find your publication very refreshing.
No doubt I will be using more of your articles in class.
Professionally,
David J. Sherwin.
