easy read on afghans suffering of women/schildren

this book is a great and easy read, i finished it in a few hrs. its full of short important stories of many women and girls young and old from afghanistan. the stories are a then and now compilation as the author has talked to the people in the book twice over a number of yrs. to see where theyve come in that amount of time, and how theyve endured life and living under the talibans oppression of women. the stories will astound you, the pictures are compelling and the read is fast yet powerful

Disturbing, informative

This book would be a superb first read for anyone wanting to understand the hardships women experienced under the Taliban. It compares women's lives before and after the Taliban came to power. The women to tell their own stories whenever possible, and photographs reinforce the main ideas. The major thrust of this book is that these women should not be forgotten again...

This is reality

At a time when Americans are living war and its aftermath in Afghanistan as a combo of reality-TV show and second-tier video game, the book's powerful text and visuals will remind all of us that these are real people and real lives that were damaged and destroyed. But the most powerful message is probably one of hope; the author's main achievement is to exhibit the unimaginable strength in all the so-called victims, which may well help them be the winners after all...

unveiled: voices of women in afghanistan

This book brillantly tells the other side of the story. The photos illustrates the changing times of Kabul and the repression that these poor women have had to and continue to suffer. This is the best book that I have read on the conflict and the taliban regimes abuse of the citizens of Afghanistan.
