ITEM OVERVIEW
The first political history of Afghanistan told through women's eyes.
"Ann Brodsky goes behind the headlines to look closely at a unique organization that according to popular stereotypes of Afghan women should not exist. RAWA is a militant, secular, feminist, pro-democracy movement run by women. Brodsky shows us how ordinary women, including those who are illiterate and who have experienced traumatic violence, can become powerful agents of social and political change. Combining scholarship with empathy, Brodsky produces a fascinating book." —Katha Pollitt
"A ringside view of RAW, the extraordinary women's movement that is as doggedly committed to democracy as it is to dreaming of another, better world." —Arundhati Roy
