Last to eat, last to learn : my life in Afghanistan fighting to educate women / Pashtana Durrani and Tamara Bralo.
"Inspired by generations of her family's unwavering belief in the power of education, Pashtana Durrani recognized her calling early in life: to educate Afghanistan's girls and young women, raised in a society where learning is forbidden. In a country devastated by war and violence, heeding that call seemed both impossible and dangerous. Pashtana founded the nonprofit LEARN and developed a program for getting educational materials directly into the hands of girls in remote areas of the country. Her commitment to education has made her a target of the Taliban. Still, she continues to fight for women's education and autonomy in Afghanistan and beyond. Courageous and inspiring, Last to Eat, Last to Learn is the story of how just one person can transform a family, a tribe, a country"-- Provided by publisher.
