In this courageous memoir, Fawzia Koofi, Afghanistan's most popular female politician, gives us her first-hand account of Afghan history through the rule of the Mujahedeen and Taliban, her experiences of the Afghanistan War, and the effects of these events on the lives of women in Afghanistan. In writing Letters to My Daughters, Fawziahas created a fresh take on Afghan society and Islam, and a gripping account of a life lived under the most harrowing of circumstances.
Fawziais the nineteenth child of twenty-three in a family with seven wives. Her father was an incorruptible politician strongly attached to Afghan tradition. When he was murdered by the Mujahedeen, Fawziais illiterate mother escaped with her children and decided to send the ten-year-old Fawziato school. As the civil war raged, Fawziadodged bullets and snipers to attend class, determined to be the first person in her family to receive an education.
Fawziawent on to marry a man she loved, and they had two cherished daughters, Shohra and Shaharzad. Sadly, the arrival of the Taliban spelled an end to Fawzia's freedom. Outraged and deeply saddened by the injustice she saw around her, and by the tainting of her Islamic faith, she discovered politics for herself, following in her father's footsteps. Tragically, this choice has lead to security threats to her life by Islamic extremists. Thus, Letters to My Daughtersis not only a record of her life, but also acts as a literal letter through which Fawzia can pass on her wisdom about justice and dignity to her daughters, not knowing for how long she will survive such attacks.
Fawzia Koofi is Afghanistan's first female Parliament speaker and a noted activist for women and children’s rights. Her forthcoming book THE FAVORED DAUGHTER will be released January 3rd, 2012 by Palgrave.
Koofi is currently a leading candidate for the presidential elections in 2014 and has been quoted by the BBC, Time, The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, CNN, The Globe and Mail, and many others. Koofi was selected as a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum in 2009. Before getting elected to Parliament, Koofi was employed by UNICEF as a child protection officer from 2002 through 2004.
The mother of two girls, she lives in Kabul.

评分荒芜的沙漠中坚强生长的树。
最初读这本书的原因很简单,就是在豆瓣上看到了这本书的封面——在又像戈壁滩,又像旧房墙的荒凉的背景下,一个裹着红色的头巾的伊斯兰女性的一双明亮的坚定的眼睛,一下子就抓住了我的注意力,再加上我看到作者是一名阿富汗的女性后,对与文化的渴求,促使我买下了这本书。 ...
评分 评分我对于阿富汗的认识和关注几乎就是从卡勒德•胡赛尼的小说开始的,从《追风筝的人》里阿富汗男人的救赎,到《灿烂千阳》里阿富汗女人的命运,这个国家贫穷、悲惨、沉重,对待女性尤其残酷,甚至惨不忍睹。记得刚读完《灿烂千阳》的那些日子里,跟朋友聊天经常时不是会说起,...
评分给我亲爱的不知是男是女的小兔崽子: 虽然你娘我并不确定你能否来到这个世上,因为你娘跟你可能的爹商量好了。如果不能够改变你降生在地狱模式的命运,那我们宁愿选择不让你来到这个世界。因为你没有自主选择的能力,为了避免你以后唠叨埋怨我们,我们还是消停地过二人世界比...
评分笔记: 1、我希望你们记住:你要打发上门求助的人们,你根本不知道什么时候也需要他们的帮助。 2、对一个女人来说,或许最糟糕的莫过于迷失了自己。如果不能清楚地认识自己,没有任何梦想,那么这才是女人最大的损失。 3、这些孩子,包括所有的孩子都是有价值的。只要接受适当...
