- Description
- Kitch explores the crisis in contemporary Afghan women's lives by focusing on two professional women. Kitch follows the stories of Judge Marzia Basel and Jamila Afghani from 2005 through 2013, providing an perspective on the personal and professional lives of Afghanistan's women. Basel and Afghani speak of matters like international intervention and patriarchal Afghan culture. Rooted in feminist theory and interdisciplinary historical and geopolitical analysis, this book sheds new light on the struggle against the forces that affect Afghan women's education, health, political participation, livelihoods, and quality of life.
