Reader's Reviews
"Anosha has done a great job in eloquently expressing the fearless voices of the Afghan women with their unique dimensions, aspirations, and feelings about many aspects of human conditions. Her approach stands in sharp contrast with the camouflaged and stereotypical representation of the Afghan women by the western media."
