pickAfter years on my tbr, I finally read this one, and what a gem it is. It's a beautiful story of a woman in early 2000s Afghanistan and the strength she finds in the stories of her ancestral aunt who pushed traditional female roles. It is powerful, disturbing, and inspiring. This was September's #Bookspin @TheAromaofBooks
pickI really enjoyed the first 80% of this book! I liked both main characters and flew through it. The last 20% wasn‘t bad, just not nearly as good as the first part. And the ending seemed abrupt. But I love historical fiction and knew nothing about this matter (contraception in Ireland in the 70‘s) before hand. (33)

pickI hadn't noticed I had bought the #youngreaders edition of this #biography. I loved it although I must admit it makes me want to read the original version now. #education #womenrights ❤️
“El pan de la guerra“ cuenta la historia de parvana, una niña afgana de 11 años que vive en kabul bajo el régimen talibán. Su padre sin un trabajo. Parvana decide disfrazarse de niño para poder trabajar.
En general el libro me gustó, trata temas muy complejos pero muy interesantes como la fuerza y la resiliencia de las mujeres
Recomiendo este libro para jóvenes pues destaca la importancia de la paz y los derechos humanos.
pickEvery single title that I've read by Nadia Hashimi is 5 star. They make me ponder long after the last page about the world around me and the privileges I forget to notice every day. I complain about gender equality while others just don't want to be considered property or be the 3rd, 4th, or 5th wife whose sole purpose is to bear male children. Let us learn from one another, let us never forget that it could and is worse for so many others.
pickThe title of this book is the rallying cry for Iranian protesters after the murder of Mahsa Amini by police. This graphic collection pulls no punches. I was disturbed and inspired. I know a lot more and have a much better understanding of the recent history and current state of protest and repression in Iran. And, unfortunately, some of it reminded me very strongly of the current state of politics in the US. 😞
pick#CoverStories Day 31: #Prison - Zeba was detained (but more like imprisoned) for the murder of her husband, and awaiting a conviction. All the other incarcerated women committed the crime of fighting back against abusive husbands or family members or accused of having sex outside of marriage – called zina or crimes of immorality – even just a mere suspicion is enough to dishonor a woman and her family. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-ndv
pickAmazing. A look at the current state of rebellion under the Islamic regime of Iran, following the cruel murder of a young woman by morality police because her headscarf wasn‘t worn perfectly.
