We Are Afghan Women by George W. Bush Institute Book PDF Summary

We Are Afghan Women chronicles the lives of young and old, daughters and mothers, educated and those who are still learning.

Many of these women face serious risks for speaking so openly, but they want the world to listen. Their words will change not only how we as Americans see Afghanistan but also how we understand the complex challenges still facing women and girls around the globe.
