What is Women of courage : intimate stories from Afghanistan about?

<p>THE WOMEN OF AFGHANISTAN are breaking out of the darkness of oppression and creating change in their society to make a better tomorrow for themselves and their daughters. Women of Courage takes an intimate look at courageous women from all walks of life who are facing the future with hope despite their nation's long history of oppression and violence. With the fall of the Taliban, free elections, and a new constitution, the women of Afghanistan suddenly had freedoms that had long been kept from them. These women-a university student, a policewoman, a housewife, a photojournalist, a filmmaker, a politician, a paratrooper, an Olympic athlete, and many others-are taking those freedoms and working to ensure that all women throughout their country are afforded their constitutional rights, including education and economic empowerment. The compelling photographs in Women of Courage introduce you to these women and unfiltered interviews let you hear the voices of women who are literally transforming the world in which they live one day at a time. Listen to their stories in their own words and be inspired by their courage and optimism.</p> <p>KATHERINE KIVIAT, born and raised in New York
