I read a terrific book, “The Kabul Beauty School,” by Deborah Rodriguez, an ordinary American and a hairdresser. She felt so horrible about the way women are treated in Afghanistan, she went there with supplies donated by the manufacturers, and taught women to fix one another’s hair. True story and she’s an amazing writer, She finally had to marry some almost-OK muslim man to stay there without getting murdered by the Taliban. As I recall, it was on the NYT bestseller list.
Very brave woman, also very good looking and an excellent writer.
Sounds like a great book. I just put a hold on it at my library. Thanks!
