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.
