- Description
- Author, an assistant professor at the Department of women's studies at San Diego State University, wants to position women for the future through lessons learnt from the past by recounting the history of women in Afghanistan. The focus of this paper is on the importance of rural Afghanistan in the shaping of the nation and on women's status. Author traces the history of women in Aghanistan to show that women in Afghanistan were not always oppressed by fundamentalism as occurred under the Mujahideen and the Taliban. And she also shows that women's issues were part of national construction agendas like they were already in the 1920's. Author also tries to highlight the power of tribal and community leaders in defining the role of women and in resisting any modernization that would challenge their patriarchal authority. This paper also highlights the efforts made to empower women to create a sense of nationhood.
