In this courageous memoir, Fawzia Koofi, Afghanistan's most popular female politician, gives us her first-hand account of Afghan history through the rule of the Mujahedeen and Taliban, her experiences of the Afghanistan War, and the effects of these events on the lives of women in Afghanistan. In writing Letters to My Daughters, Fawziahas created a fresh take on Afghan society and Islam, and a gripping account of a life lived under the most harrowing of circumstances.
Fawziais the nineteenth child of twenty-three in a family with seven wives. Her father was an incorruptible politician strongly attached to Afghan tradition. When he was murdered by the Mujahedeen, Fawziais illiterate mother escaped with her children and decided to send the ten-year-old Fawziato school. As the civil war raged, Fawziadodged bullets and snipers to attend class, determined to be the first person in her family to receive an education.
Fawziawent on to marry a man she loved, and they had two cherished daughters, Shohra and Shaharzad. Sadly, the arrival of the Taliban spelled an end to Fawzia's freedom. Outraged and deeply saddened by the injustice she saw around her, and by the tainting of her Islamic faith, she discovered politics for herself, following in her father's footsteps. Tragically, this choice has lead to security threats to her life by Islamic extremists. Thus, Letters to My Daughtersis not only a record of her life, but also acts as a literal letter through which Fawzia can pass on her wisdom about justice and dignity to her daughters, not knowing for how long she will survive such attacks.
Fawzia Koofi is Afghanistan's first female Parliament speaker and a noted activist for women and children’s rights. Her forthcoming book THE FAVORED DAUGHTER will be released January 3rd, 2012 by Palgrave.
Koofi is currently a leading candidate for the presidential elections in 2014 and has been quoted by the BBC, Time, The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, CNN, The Globe and Mail, and many others. Koofi was selected as a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum in 2009. Before getting elected to Parliament, Koofi was employed by UNICEF as a child protection officer from 2002 through 2004.
The mother of two girls, she lives in Kabul.

评分才看了一封信,就觉得好震撼。一个女子,有着比这世界上百分之九十九的男子都刚毅与坚定的心。是自贝布托《东方的女儿》后看过的最充满力量的书。
评分Shocking & inspiring. A book about war, loss, grief, and strong will, hope, and power of women. Strongly recommend!
太阳东升西落着,而星星却是永远停驻在空中,在每个夜晚,发亮。 法齐娅•库菲就是一颗发亮着的星星,用自己的能量使其发出耀眼的光芒。 读毕《我不要你死于一事无成:给女儿的17封告别信》,我震惊于当时阿富汗国家政局的战乱,也惊诧于阿富汗民族对待女性的不公,更惊叹于...
评分书中的内容是我所没接触过的世界一角。 看书的好处有些国家你是没勇气踏入只能在书中遨游,把文字转会成影像在头脑中播放。 贫穷战乱女性地位低,大量被破坏的基础设施、很多未爆地雷,还有大量非法鸦片与海洛因毒品贸易充斥其中。 作者在生了第二个女儿后被丈夫冷落这段看得我...
评分我对于阿富汗的认识和关注几乎就是从卡勒德•胡赛尼的小说开始的,从《追风筝的人》里阿富汗男人的救赎,到《灿烂千阳》里阿富汗女人的命运,这个国家贫穷、悲惨、沉重,对待女性尤其残酷,甚至惨不忍睹。记得刚读完《灿烂千阳》的那些日子里,跟朋友聊天经常时不是会说起,...
评分法齐娅的一生就是个传奇,这本书揭露了阿富汗极端主义的丑陋面目,对于他父亲对他母亲的家暴如果我是作者绝不会还在此书赞扬自己的父亲,为了多娶一个老婆竟然可以休掉自己大老婆,可见阿富汗男人把自己的欲望看的多至高无上,还有因为母亲没有把饭粒分开而被施暴,我真心佩服...
评分《我不要你死于一事无成》的书名与内容基本没多大关系,如果从英文直译就是封面上的副标题:给女儿的17封告别信。其实与其说是母亲给女儿的告别信,不如说是一位伊斯兰女性在战火纷飞的阿富汗的成长史或是个人传记。而本书的作者法齐娅.库菲是阿富汗唯一一位女性国会议长,经历...
