Pamella Cavanna served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Iran from 1969 to 1971 on health and education projects. She had worked as a nurse prior to joining. She and her husband applied to the Peace Corps for humanitarian reasons. They trained in Fresno, California, for three months while living in a trailer. Cavanna felt well trained in the Farsi language and well prepared for the cultural differences. In Iran, her first project was establishing a women's clinic in Rezaiyeh. At the end of her first year, however, she and her husband separated and the Peace Corps administration would not allow her to return to Rezaiyeh as a single woman. Cavanna completed her term as an English teacher in Tehran. The interview also contains her observations about sisterhood among Muslim women.
