A Woman Among Warlords: The Extraordinary Story of the Afghan Woman Who Dares to Speak Out
On a U.S. tour, Malalai Joya speaks of “A Woman Among Warlords: The Extraordinary Story of the Afghan Woman Who Dares to Speak Out” (2009). Her book provides a true picture of young Afghans going through the occupation, the troubles of refugee camps and the feelings of these people towards those warlords who are once again ruling and not giving chance to the new generation to come forward and control their destiny. Reviews: ‘The youngest and most famous of all the women in the Afghan parliament...a powerful symbol of change’ – Guardian. . ‘A fascinating account of Afghanistan’s political reality…Malalai Joya has been compared to Burma’s Aung San Suu Kyi’ - Irish Times. ‘A courageous female MP’ - The Times.‘ [Has] spoken her mind as few Afghan women dare to do’ - New York Times . |
