Afghanistan

Dancing in the Mosque

“One of the most difficult tasks the Almighty can assign anyone is being a girl in Afghanistan.”

Homeira Qaderi is a former advisor to the Afghan government. This devastating memoir is written as a letter to the son she was forced to leave behind, exposing the plight of the women of her country.
