Dear Zari : hidden stories from women of Afghanistan / Zarghuna Kargar ; edited by Naomi Goldsmith. by Kargar, Zarghuna. Vintage, 2012, c2011. Call #: 305.409581 K18d Subjects Women -- Afghanistan -- Social conditions -- 21st century.   Afghanistan -- Social conditions -- 21st century. ISBN:  9780099542186 (pbk.) 0099542188 (pbk.) Description:  267 p. : 1 map ; 20 cm. Notes:  Originally published: London: Chatto & Windus, 2011. Summary:  "Dear Zari" gives voice to the secret lives of women across Afghanistan and allows them to tell their stories in their own words: from the child bride given as payment to end a family feud; to a life spent in a dark, dusty room weaving carpets; to a young girl brought up as a boy; to life as a widow shunned by society. Compelling, enlightening, often heart-breaking and at times uplifting, these thirteen stories uncover how the customs of this deeply religious and intensely traditional society can cause real suffering for many women.
