Risking her life in a war zone without the back-up or safety net of a major network was one thing, but finding herself in a land where women were virtually invisible opened a window onto another world. Surrounded by men, from the front line to the local bazaar, Makler had one major advantage over her male colleagues. While the hidden world of Afghan women was off limits to them, she was able break through the wall of silence and uncover a powerful force behind it: women willing to emerge from the shadows and voice the need for change - and take a role in their couratry's future. As one woman put it: 'Society is like a bird. It has two wings. And a bird cannot fly if one wing is broken. Insightful, moving and often darkly funny, Our Woman in Kabul not only offer vivid portrait of these remarkable women and a turning point in their country history, but of life on the road with an intrepid female nomad whose curious almost always overcomes her fear. Whether she is creating her own dusry Afghan version of Babette's feast, bedding down above an unexploded bomb, crossing the treacherous Hindu Kush or rediscovering the simple joys of gossip and girltalk in an Afghan home 'beauty salon Makler never loses heart, her unerring eye for a good story-or her sense of humour. 1.
