The Dressmaker of Khair Khana: Five Sisters, One Remarkable Family, and the Woman Who Risked Everything to Keep Them Safe Audiobook (Free)

Summary:

‘We’re a lot more accustomed to-and comfortable with-seeing females portrayed as victims of battle who deserve our sympathy instead of as resilient survivors who demand our respect…’

Former ABC journalist Gayle Tzemach Lemmon tells the riveting true story of Kamila Sidiqi and other women of Afghanistan in the wake of the Taliban’s fearful rise to power. In what Greg Mortenson, writer of Three Cups of Tea, phone calls “one of the most inspiring books I’ve ever examine,” Lemmon recounts with novelistic vividness the real story of a fearless young female who not merely reinvented herself as a business owner to save lots of her family but, when confronted with ferocious opposition, brought desire to the lives of a large number of women in war-torn Kabul.
