  abstract: "Five female playwrights offer short but intense experiences of the lives of Afghan girls and women in the brief, perilous years before the Taliban retook Kabul. The five plays, and the journalism they're based on are illuminating, wry, surprising, heart-rending. They open our eyes to what Afghan women wrestled with in the two decades between periods of Taliban rule, and remind us what is being lost every day that women in Afghanistan are silenced"-- Provided by publisher.
