Synopsis
Journalist Christina Asquith documents the lives of four women who have dedicated themselves to helping establish new rights for Iraqi women in the wake of the U.S. invasion of Iraq--two Iraqi sisters (Zia and Nunu), an American army reservist (Heather), and a Palestinian activist for women's rights (Manal). Zia and Nunu put their faith in the American occupying forces, but the military does not reciprocate their support when they are confronted by angry Islamic fundamentalists. Meanwhile, Heather and Manal face an agonizing uphill battle as they try to start a women's center in the heart of one of the most misogynist nations on earth. Their lives are actively threatened every day, but the reward of providing small acts of charity to women who have known only oppression gives them the fuel to continue their struggle. Asquith reported from Baghdad for two years, and her powerful account of these women resonates with urgency and courage.

Publisher's Note
Profiles four women who are making their way through life in Iraq after the country's invasion by America, from Zia, who hopes that her relationship with an American will be less taboo upon the arrival of democracy; to Manal, a Palestinian-American activist who works with an army reservist to found a women's center.
