We are afghan women : voices of hope

George W. Bush Presidential Center George W. Bush Institute (Author). Bush, Laura Welch, 1946- (author of introduction.). George W. Bush Presidential Center, (sponsoring body.).

Summary: We Are Afghan Women chronicles the lives of young and old, daughters and mothers, educated and those who are still learning. Their stories are a stark reminder that women's progress in society, business, and politics cannot be taken for granted. Many of these women face serious risks for speaking so openly, but they want the world to listen. Their words will change not only how we as Americans see Afghanistan but also how we understand the complex challenges still facing women and girls around the globe.
