520    If, as has been said, exiles, refugees, and emigrants are 
       the defining figures for the twentieth century, the 
       thirteen women of Women in Exile give unforgettable life 
       to the metaphor. Their stories offer a rare and special 
       opportunity to witness the harrowing experience of flight 
       and dislocation and to marvel at the resilience of the 
       human spirit. 
520 8  "I am an exile," writes Mahnaz Afkhami. "I have been in 
       exile for fifteen years. I have been forced to stay out of
       my own country, Iran, because of my work for women's 
       rights. I recognized no limits, ends, or framework in this
       work outside those set by women themselves in their 
       capacity as independent human beings. The charges against 
       me are 'corruption on earth' and 'warring with God.' Being
       charged in the Islamic Republic of Iran is being 
       convicted. 
520 8  There is no defense or appeal, although I would not have 
       known how to defend myself against such a grand accusation
       as warring with God anyway. There has not been a trial, 
       not even in absentia, and no formal conviction. 
       Nevertheless, my home in Tehran has been ransacked and 
       confiscated, my books, pictures, and mementos taken, my 
       passport invalidated, and my life threatened repeatedly." 
520 8  Attempting to come to terms with her own life in exile, 
       Mahnaz Afkhami sought out and talked with twelve other 
       women, from all parts of the globe, most now settled in 
       the United States. With her, we meet Samnang of Cambodia, 
       survivor of a bloody march to nowhere who now teaches 
       preventive health practices; Azar, whose flight took her 
       through the Iran-Turkish mountains on horseback, protected
       by no government, sought by two, who now manages a major 
       publications program and two healthy children; Maria 
       Teresa, beaten, raped, and tortured in El Salvador after 
       the assassination of her husband, who now travels around 
       the world on behalf of human rights; Ngoc-Ho, a doctor in 
       Vietnam, whose small child did not survive a six-day 
       flight by boat, who is now a leader in the Vietnamese 
       community as well as a successful pediatrician; and Alicia,
       once one of the "disappeared" in Argentina, who has earned
       a master's degree and published books of prose and poetry.
