我对于阿富汗的认识和关注几乎就是从卡勒德•胡赛尼的小说开始的,从《追风筝的人》里阿富汗男人的救赎,到《灿烂千阳》里阿富汗女人的命运,这个国家贫穷、悲惨、沉重,对待女性尤其残酷,甚至惨不忍睹。记得刚读完《灿烂千阳》的那些日子里,跟朋友聊天经常时不是会说起,...
评分买这本书有两个原因: 一个是蒋方舟的推荐,她说比《灿烂千阳》好看。她从头哭到了尾。但是读毕,我想问,她看过这本书么?有哪里好哭的?我从头看到尾,一个泪点都没看到。也许生活在那个时代的阿富汗女性确实很凄苦,在游击队和塔利班控制下的阿富汗无缘无故死掉的人真的很可...
评分这本书让我想起在另外一本书上看过的一段话:A "liberated woman" is simply a woman who controls her own life, rather than allowing it to be controlled by other people, traditions, or expectations. A "liberated woman" can be found pursuing any line of work, inc...
评分发现这本书是一早浏览蒋方舟的微博时,看到她说看这本书“从头哭到尾”并力荐。 于是花了一个下午的时间读完,心潮澎湃。 这是一本自传,法齐娅•库菲,阿富汗唯一一位女性国会议长的自传,从她童年的生活讲起,到一路目睹、参与阿富汗的起起落落,到艰难而执着...

In this courageous memoir, Fawzia Koofi, Afghanistan's most popular female politician, gives us her first-hand account of Afghan history through the rule of the Mujahedeen and Taliban, her experiences of the Afghanistan War, and the effects of these events on the lives of women in Afghanistan. In writing Letters to My Daughters, Fawziahas created a fresh take on Afghan society and Islam, and a gripping account of a life lived under the most harrowing of circumstances.
Fawziais the nineteenth child of twenty-three in a family with seven wives. Her father was an incorruptible politician strongly attached to Afghan tradition. When he was murdered by the Mujahedeen, Fawziais illiterate mother escaped with her children and decided to send the ten-year-old Fawziato school. As the civil war raged, Fawziadodged bullets and snipers to attend class, determined to be the first person in her family to receive an education.
Fawziawent on to marry a man she loved, and they had two cherished daughters, Shohra and Shaharzad. Sadly, the arrival of the Taliban spelled an end to Fawzia's freedom. Outraged and deeply saddened by the injustice she saw around her, and by the tainting of her Islamic faith, she discovered politics for herself, following in her father's footsteps. Tragically, this choice has lead to security threats to her life by Islamic extremists. Thus, Letters to My Daughtersis not only a record of her life, but also acts as a literal letter through which Fawzia can pass on her wisdom about justice and dignity to her daughters, not knowing for how long she will survive such attacks.
