An American Bride in Kabul by Phyllis Chesler
In 1961 Phyllis Chesler, a Jewish-American girl embarked on an adventure to meet her westernized husband's family in Afghan. Back home he reverted to traditional customs and she found herself unexpectedly trapped. This dramatic tale shows how Chesler escaped and turned adversity into a passion for political reform.
"Chesler's book is a penetrating blend of personal narrative and historiography of women travelers..it represents a very personal struggle by a woman who is at the same time a harsh critic of cultural norms in the East, and someone deeply interested in the lives of people, particularly women, in the Muslim world" - The Jerusalem Post
