The mother of two girls, she lives in Kabul.
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.

评分阿富汗,应该是一提起就让人觉得惊心动魄的国家之一吧。在这之前,虽然在电视新闻里听到过诸如塔利班、基地组织、什叶派的词,这个国家对我而言,就是永远出现在新闻联播后10分钟水深火热里的那一类:战乱、贫穷、宗教争端。 这本书也让我想起不久前看的有关朝鲜的一本书——...
评分 评分一个周末的时间,我和女儿将这本书全部阅读完成。确切地说是我一口气读完,然后又强烈地推荐给我的女儿的。我是主动阅读,而女儿则是被动阅读。这是阿富汗女国会议员库菲写给她女儿的十七封信,穿插在一封与另一封之间的是她的成长故事,那里有她可敬可憎可怜可悲的父亲母亲,...

荒芜的沙漠中坚强生长的树。
评分才看了一封信,就觉得好震撼。一个女子,有着比这世界上百分之九十九的男子都刚毅与坚定的心。是自贝布托《东方的女儿》后看过的最充满力量的书。
