Zarifa : a woman's battle in a man's world / Zarifa Ghafari & Hannah Lucinda Smith.

Ghafari, Zarifa, (author.). Smith, Hannah Lucinda, (author.).

Summary:

Zarifa Ghafari was twenty-six when she became mayor - the only female mayor in the country - of Maidan Wardak, Kabul. An extremist mob barred her from her office; her male staff walked out in protest; assassins tried to kill her six times. She stood her ground. Written with honesty, pain, and ultimately, hope, Ghafari describes the work she did, the women she still tries to help as they live under Taliban rule and her vision for how grassroots activism can change their lives and the lives of women everywhere.
