'Sinzela felt her appearance made her vulnerable because it was
associated with the village life, which was not considered modern
at all. They would wear skirts, and they had short haircuts like
men. And they looked at us like we just came from the jungle?'
(Sinzela, Interview Two) Sinzela's experiences are not unique, but
rather reflect the voices of countless women throughout rural
Afghanistan. For years, these women have lived sheltered and
isolated lives, that have limited their opportunity, especially in
regards to education. This book provides a unique opportunity to
hear voices of rural Paxtun women, a group that is further
marginalized due to their practices of a strict patriarchal code.
The author, raised in the rural Afghan tradition, shares her
experiences of growing up in Afghanistan and Canada.
