The Women's War is the gripping true story of a Danish female
soldier's tours to the Helmand Province in Afghanistan between 2007
and 2009. There she comes into contact with the Afghan women who
are fighting against oppression, domestic violence and the horror
regime of the Taliban, and together they initiate a covert
collaboration. The women receive the necessary aid to establish
dressmaking rooms, beauty salons, chicken farms and other projects
while being aware of the fact that the international military
forces are their only chance to get rid of the Taliban. The Women's
War emerged out of the friendships built by a soldier with Afghan
women who helped the international military forces in unexpected
ways. It is a book by a woman in the armed forces about what war
does to women, about the looming risk of taking chances in wartime
and about grief over fallen friends, but more importantly, it is
about how women in one instance found the will to not only survive
but to make something out of the terrible conditions that war
brings.
