Nancy Dupree

Nancy Hatch Dupree (Pashto: نانسي دوپري, romanized: Nansi dupri;October 3, 1927 – September 10, 2017) was an American-Afghan historian whose work primarily focused on the history of modern Afghanistan.

She was the director of the Afghanistan Center at Kabul University and author of five books that she compiled while studying the history of Afghanistan from 1962 until the late 1970s, writing about tourism and history of Bamyan, Kabul, Kandahar, Herat, Mazar-i-Sharif and so on.

She was fondly called the "grandmother of Afghanistan", having spent more of her life there or with Afghans abroad.
