Reaching beyond sensational headlines, "Land of the Unconquerable"
at last offers a three-dimensional portrait of Afghan women. In a
series of wide-ranging, deeply reflective essays, accomplished
scholars, humanitarian workers, politicians, and journalists - most
with extended experience inside Afghanistan - examine the realities
of life for women in both urban and rural settings. They address
topics including food security, sex work, health, marriage,
education, poetry, politics, prisoners, and community development.
Eschewing stereotypes about the burqa, the contributors focus
instead on women's empowerment and agency, and their struggles for
peace and justice in the face of a brutal ongoing war. A fuller
picture of Afghanistan's women past and present emerges, leading to
social policy suggestions and pragmatic solutions for a peaceful
future.
