Nancy H. Marshall

Nancy Marshall has been a resident of Phoenix, Arizona for 35 years and an active member of the community of social justice. Her work and writing have covered a span of social issues related to women’s sexuality and rights, as well as extensive involvement in the juvenile courts system. Nancy continues to advocate through her writing and participation in the peace and justice community. Nancy has volunteered in two community gardens. She has learned up close to learn what makes a garden work. First, all who participate learn skills and provide nutritious food for families. Even more important, she has witnessed the rich bonds of friendship that form among the humans - and their companions - who make the community garden an integral part of their lives. She has been an active member of book groups through the years, as well as teaching all ages. Her passions include gardening, hiking, competitive squash and cookies. She is married, with two children, two very large dogs and a cat.
