"Zoya's Story is a young woman's searing account of her clandestine war of resistance against the Taliban and religious fanaticism at the risk of her own life. [This story shows] a powerful testament to the ongoing battle to claim human rights for the women of Afghanistan. Though she is only twenty-three, Zoya has witnessed and endured more tragedy and terror than most people do in a lifetime. Zoya grew up during the wars that ravaged Afghanistan and was robbed of her mother and father when they were murdered by Muslim fundamentalists. Devastated by so much death and destruction, she fled Kabul with her grandmother and started a new life in exile in Pakistan. She joined the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan, which challenged the crushing edicts of the Taliban government, and she made dangerous journeys back to her homeland to help the women oppressed by a system that forced them to wear the stifling burqa, condoned public stoning or whipping if they ventured out without a male chaperon, and forbade them from working. Zoya is our guide, our witness to the horrors perpetrated by the Taliban and the Mujahideen "holy warriors" who had defeated the Russian occupiers. She helped to secretly film a public cutting of hands in a Kabul stadium and to organize covert literacy classes, as schooling-branded a "gateway to Hell"--Was forbidden to girls. At an Afghan refugee camp she heard tales of heartrending suffering and worked to provide a future for families who had lost everything. The spotlight focused on Afghanistan after the New York and Washington terrorist attacks highlights the conditions of repression and fear in which Afghan women live and makes Zoya's Story utterly compelling. This is a memoir that speaks louder than the images of devastation and outrage; it is a moving message of optimism as Zoya struggles to bring the plight of Afghan women to the world's attention.-Dust jacket."@en
"Persoonlijk relaas van een Afghaanse vrouw die actief aan het ondergrondse verzet tegen de Taliban deelnam."
"Zoya grew up in Kabul during the wars that ravaged Afghanistan and escaped to Pakistan as a teenager, devastated after the death of her parents on the orders of fundamentalist Mujaheddin 'holy warriors'. She joined the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan (RAWA), which challenged the edicts of the Taliban government. She made frequent dangerous journeys back to her homeland to help the women oppressed by a rule that enforced the wearing of the stifling burqa and condoned public stoning if a woman ventured out without a male chaperone. Zoya was a witness to the horrors perpetrated by the Taliban and the Mujaheddin warlords, but her memoir is a powerful message of optimism against all the odds."@en
