Book Description: Mrs. Shafiqa Habibi is a pioneering leader, advocate, and prominent figure in the history of journalism and the women’s rights movement in Afghanistan. She was one of the few courageous women who boldly defended Afghan women’s rights during the Taliban’s oppressive rule. As journalist Paul Watson notes in his comprehensive report, “If Mrs. Habibi is right, the Taliban will soon realize that they cannot enforce their views without the participation of Afghan women.”
In this compelling book, Dr. Mahmoud Habibi chronicles the remarkable life of Mrs. Habibi, beginning with her election as a distinguished announcer and reciter at Kabul Radio. Through vivid photographs and insightful text, readers will discover her lifelong dedication to advocacy, her participation in international conferences, and her tireless efforts to amplify the voices of Afghan women around the world.
Filled with inspiring stories and unforgettable moments, this book is a tribute to a woman whose courage and leadership continue to shape Afghanistan’s history.
