Women of Courage Intimate Stories from Afganistan

"Scott and Katherine have given a voice to the girls and women of Afghanistan while providing the reader with a glimpse into an unknown world? ?I would recommend this book as a visually stunning and inspiring first step for all of us on the journey to better understand the courageous women of Afghanistan." -Debbie Rodriguez, Author, The Kabul Beauty School "Kiviat and Heidler take you on a journey through the lives of Afghan policewomen, paratroopers, artists, actresses, and scores of others who for too long have remained hidden under the burqa. The ghosts have emerged and at this moment, they are triumphant. This is a beautiful book." -Marie Brenner, Author, Great Dames: What I Learned From Older Women "In this stunning book, Katherine Kiviat and Scott Heidler reveal a reality of Afghanistan's women that is little-known in the West: that they are both incredibly diverse and deeply determined. These portraits show Afghan women as I have come to know them: capable, confident, and endlessly resilient. So often, Afghan women have been presented to the world through someone's political lens. But in this book, Kiviat and Heidler do their subjects-and the rest of us-a great service by letting the women tell their stories directly to the world." -Nancy Lindborg, President, Mercy CorpsKiviat, Katherine is the author of 'Women of Courage Intimate Stories from Afganistan', published 2007 under ISBN 9781423602538 and ISBN 1423602536.
