We Are Afghan Women by George W Bush Institute
Here are Afghan women in their own words. Words that are by turns inspiring, moving, courageous, and heart breaking.
"For over a decade, Laura Bush has been an ally and advocate for the women of Afghanistan and, in particular, has worked to ensure that the voices of Afghan women are heardIn this book, she shares inspiring stories that not only capture the suffering of Afghan women, but also show their tremendous courage and resilience and the contribution they are making to build a better future for Afghanistan." -- Hillary Rodham Clinton
“An incredible portrait of the Afghan women working to create a better future for their communities and future generations. Their stories of strength and resilience can inspire us all to reach for a more equal and peaceful world.” -- Sheryl Sandberg -COO of Facebook and founder of LeanIn.Org
“The education and empowerment of women within a society is a sign of a progressive civilization. In 2001, Afghan women were isolated and treated as second-class citizens. Though they still fight for rights and equality, they have come a long way. The stories in We Are Afghan Women: Voices of Hope teach that women can fight poverty and inequality with courage, hope, and perseverance. These women are inspiring and their lessons should move us all to stand up for those whose voices may not be heard.” -- Condoleezza Rice
