Kathy Crabb (Morocco 1995-1997) was a maternal-child health Volunteer in M’semrir, which is located in Morocco’s eastern High Atlas Mountains.

Role: setting
In the book: In ‘The Rhythm of Women’, Crabb spends a day surveying home-birthing practices with her friend Fadma and ends up dancing at a neighbours’ wedding. The essay calls it only ‘my little village in the High Atlas’; the author note names M’semrir.
Why it matters: The village is the setting of a whole essay about patience and the communal rhythm of women’s lives.
