The day after I published this review, I went for a walk with a friend from my church women's group, and I was struck by the fact that we would not have that freedom everywhere. I was also interested to learn that many of the traditions that oppress women in Afghanistan started before Islam. Fascinating book!Judith C Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09900422363643962837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3295791356307894807.post-60275390758344874062015-08-25T15:20:49.168-07:002015-08-25T15:20:49.168-07:00Sounds like a fascinating story, informative as we...Sounds like a fascinating story, informative as well as thought provoking. This inside look at Islam and other Middle Eastern practices is a wake up call to us. We live in a state of privilege, and we should not take it for granted. Great review, Judith.

You report on gender issues which sadly are not gender issues of equality. I have learned a great thing here, that of which I knew nothing about. I think the author should be pleased to announce and publish this book and it should be read by our (USA), population of men and women. I think it is definitively a great and must read! Thank you for sharing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
