What is the past, present and future political situation in Afghanistan?
Fawzia Koofi was born the 19th daughter of an Afghan village leader and was originally left to die in the sun by her mother. That was only the beginning of hardships for Koofi, but the spirited young woman went on to thrive as a female politician and change maker, becoming the first female speaker in the Afghan Parliament. Her memoir, The Favored Daughter, tells her story and includes the multiple attempts on her life and the expectations she has for her own daughters.
