City of Widows: An Iraqi Woman's Account of War and Resistance by Haifa Zangana

emotional informative medium-paced

5.0

One of the most thought provoking works I have personally read on the Iraqi conflict. It highlights the perspective of women, looking at the intersection of class and conflict, moreover, the insidious co-option of feminism  by the Bush administration, and the international community. It asks why we as a western society would like to save women else where without carefully examining our own gender struggles domestically. City of Widows, is a great step in the Iraqi people reclaiming their narrative and I suggest everyone read it.
