520    The nineteenth daughter of a local village leader in rural
       Afghanistan, the author was left to die in the sun after 
       birth by her mother. But she survived, and perseverance in
       the face of extreme hardship has defined her life ever 
       since. Despite the abuse of her family, the exploitative 
       Russian and Taliban regimes, the murders of her father, 
       brother, and husband, and numerous attempts on her life, 
       she rose above her fate to becoming the first Afghani 
       woman Parliament speaker. Here, she shares her story, 
       punctuated by a series of letters she wrote to her two 
       daughters before each political trip, letters describing 
       the future and freedoms she dreamed of for them and for 
       all the women of Afghanistan. Today, shei is one of the 
       most outspoken critics of human rights violations against 
       Afghani women and children and uses her influence to bring
       global attention to the situation on the ground in 
       Afghanistan, even as a frustrated American military 
       considers relinquishing it to the Taliban. Her story 
       captures the political and cultural moment in Afghanistan,
       a country caught between the hope of progress and the 
       bitterness of history.
