review 1: My paradigm was shifted a few remarkable inches by Koofi's story. And she appears in other stories about womens' lives in Afghanistan as well (sorry can't remember which ones at the moment). Koofi's perspective is probably unique in this world. Koofi was raised in a traditional tribal household where women are considered to have little value but her life path is anything but traditional and as a result, she can reflect on the traditional world that forms her roots while embracing a very nontraditional and courageous present. As a member of Afghanistan's parliament, Koofi's perspective on politics, the Taliban and traditional ways is nuanced and insightful. Will change your mind and leave it there.
review 2: I am very sorry to see that a woman who belong to a ba... morend of brutal warlords in Afghanistan, can fool Americans by "writing" a book. Mrs. Kofi is a doll in the hands of a fundamentalist band of warlords called "Jamiaat-e-Islami Afghanistan" (Islamic Society of Afghanistan) led by a dreaded man called Burhanuddin Rabbani who is accused of many war crimes and brutalities during civil war.She only exposes the Taliban, but supports the US occupation and the warlords.I have doubt if she has really written the book, because Mrs. Kofi does not have the required skills for writing a book, it is written by someone else and promoted under her name to use this book for propaganda purposes. The US govt. uses such women for its own agenda to show that there is a change in Afghanistan and that women are free after their invasion, which is a big lie.ONLY Malalai Joya is a real true representative of Afghan women, we are proud of her. less
