It gives voice to those Afghans, particularly women and children, rendered silent during the violent Taliban regime. The author documents everything from the trials facing the country--human rights abuses against women, poverty and the aftermath of war, and heroin addiction, among them--to the stirrings of new hope, including elections, girls' education, and work and recreation. It describes the gains that Afghan women have made since the overthrow of the Taliban, as well as the daunting obstacles they still face. VG/VG: Exlibrary book in excellent shape. Sticker at the base of the spine and on the back pasted end page.
