About this product
Product Information
The nineteenth daughter of a local village leader in rural Afghanistan, Fawzia Koofi was left to die in the sun after birth by her mother. But she survived, and perseverance in the face of extreme hardship has defined her life ever since. Despite the abuse of her family, the exploitative Russian and Taliban regimes, the murders of her father, brother, and husband, and numerous attempts on her life, she rose to become the first Afghani woman Parliament speaker. Here, she shares her amazing story, punctuated by a series of poignant letters she wrote to her two daughters before each political trip - letters describing the future and freedoms she dreamed of for them and for all the women of Afghanistan. Her story movingly captures the political and cultural moment in Afghanistan, a country caught between the hope of progress and the bitter truth of history.Product Identifiers

Emotional rollercoaster.
I bought this book some years ago and loved it so much. Lent it to a friend who lost it. I ordered this latest one for my sister in law as it was a book she needed to read. I follow the author to be reassured she is still alive. Such an amazing lady and a very special book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
