In a series of wide-ranging, deeply reflective essays, accomplished scholars, humanitarian workers, politicians, and journalists-most with extended experience inside Afghanistan-examine the realities of life for women in both urban and rural settings. They address topics including food security, sex work, health, marriage, education, poetry, politics, prisoners, and community development. Eschewing stereotypes about the burqa, the contributors focus instead on women's empowerment and agency, and their struggles for peace and justice in the face of a brutal ongoing war. A fuller picture of Afghanistan's women past and present emerges, leading to social policy suggestions and pragmatic solutions for a peaceful future. 606 $aAfghanistan - Social conditions - 21st century 606 $aWomen - Afghanistan - Social conditions - 21st century 606 $aWomen -- Afghanistan -- Social conditions -- 21st century 606 $aWomen$xSocial conditions$y21st century$zAfghanistan 606 $aGender & Ethnic Studies$2HILCC 606 $aGender Studies & Sexuality$2HILCC 606 $aSocial Sciences$2HILCC 608 $aElectronic books. 615 4$aAfghanistan - Social conditions - 21st century. 615 4$aWomen - Afghanistan - Social conditions - 21st century. 615 4$aWomen -- Afghanistan -- Social conditions -- 21st century. 615 0$aWomen$xSocial conditions 615 7$aGender & Ethnic Studies 615 7$aGender Studies & Sexuality 615 7$aSocial Sciences 676 $a305.48/891593 702 $aHeath$b Jennifer, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aZahedi$b Ashraf, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459130803321 996 $aLand of the Unconquerable$92480328 997 $aUNINA
