Since there has been some interest/sympathy here for Afghan women, I thought I'd mention something I heard on the radio.

'The Last Free Women' depicts life in America for those who escaped the Taliban
Follows the lives of four young women as they start a new life in America — learning English, repeating college and forging new identities — while back home, the Taliban ends most opportunities for women outside the home.
