The Afghan Women's Writing Project worked with women inside Afghanistan and in the diaspora to collect poems and stories — some written under extraordinary personal risk. This anthology is the result. Not a single narrator. Not a single perspective. Dozens of voices, ranging from grief to humor to fury to love, all insisting on the same thing: we are here, we are thinking, we have something to say. The most direct dispatch on this shelf.
