Zarifa : a woman's battle in a man's world / Zarifa Ghafari & Hannah Lucinda Smith. by Ghafari, Zarifa. PublicAffairs, 2022. Call #: 958.104 G411z Subjects Ghafari, Zarifa.   Women mayors -- Afghanistan -- Biography.   Women human rights workers -- Afghanistan -- Biography.   Women social reformers -- Afghanistan -- Biography.   Women -- Afghanistan -- Social conditions.   Afghanistan -- Social conditions -- 21st century.   Afghanistan -- Politics and government -- 21st century. ISBN:  9781541702639 (hc.) Edition:  1st US ed. Description:  271 p. : col. ill. ; 24 cm. Summary:  "Zarifa Ghafari was three years old when the Taliban banned girls from schools, and she began her education in secret. She was six when American airstrikes began. She was twenty-four when she became mayor -- one of the first female mayors in the country -- and first of Wardak, one of the most conservative provinces in Afghanistan. An extremist mob barred her from her office; her male staff walked out in protest; assassins tried to kill her three times. Through it all, Zarifa stood her ground. She ended corruption in the municipality, promoted peace, and tried to lift up women, despite constant fear for herself and her family. When the Taliban took Kabul in 2021, Ghafari had to flee. But even that couldn't stop her. Six months later, she returned, to continue her work empowering women. 'Zarifa' is an astonishing memoir that offers an unparalleled perspective of the last two decades in Afghanistan from a citizen, daughter, woman and mayor. Written with honesty, pain, and ultimately, hope, Zarifa 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."--From publisher.
