Explores stories from a host of Afghan women living today in an Afghanistan that has largely been freed of the Taliban, which means that Afghan women today have much more freedom to go to school, find employment, and serve in government. Discusses personal stories of women like Dr. Sakena Yacoobi, who ran an underground school for girls during the Taliban's reign; Freshta Hazeq, a business owner who faces death threats against her and her children; and Naheed Farid, who won election to Parliament at age twenty-seven in spite of fierce opposition.
