DESCRIPTION:The International Museum of Women and the Global Fund for Women are pleased 
 to present an event to mark the publication of Land of the Unconquerable: 
 The Lives of Contemporary Afghan Women, featuring co-editor Ashraf Zahedi 
 and contributor Amina Kator. \n\nReaching beyond sensational headlines, 
 Land of the Unconquerable: The Lives of Contemporary Afghan Women offers a 
 three-dimensional portrait of Afghan women. In a series of wide-ranging, 
 deeply reflective essays, accomplished scholars, humanitarian workers, 
 politicians, and journalists-most with extensive experience inside 
 Afghanistan-examine the realities of life for women in both urban and rural 
 settings. Eschewing stereotypes about the burqa, the contributors focus 
 instead on women's empowerment and agency and on their struggles for peace 
 and justice in the face of a brutal ongoing war.\n\nEvent details: 
 Wednesday, July 27. Check-in and wine reception begins at 5:30 p.m., 
 program begins at 6:00 p.m., followed by book sale and signing. Russ 
 Building, 235 Montgomery Street, 12th Floor, San Francisco. Tickets are $5 
 for members, $10 for non-members. \n\n\nAshraf Zahedi is a sociologist and 
 scholar at the University of California, Berkeley and is a former IMOW 
 board member. Amina Kator is a recent graduate of the University of 
 California, Berkeley and has authored the essay, "Hopes and Dreams: 
 Interviews with Young Afghans" included in Land of the Unconquerable. 
 Ashraf coedited the book with Jennifer Heath and contributed an essay 
 entitled, "When the Picture Does not Fit the Frame: Engaging Afghan Men in 
 Women's Empowerment."\n
