In a country devastated by war and violence, heeding that call seemed both impossible and dangerous. Pashtana founded the nonprofit LEARN and developed a program for getting educational materials directly into the hands of girls in remote areas of the country. Her commitment to education has made her a target of the Taliban. Still, she continues to fight for women's education and autonomy in Afghanistan and beyond. Courageous and inspiring, Last to Eat, Last to Learn is the story of how just one person can transform a family, a tribe, a country"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Durrani, Pashtana. 650 0 $a Women human rights workers $z Afghanistan $v Biography. 650 0 $a Girls $x Education $z Afghanistan $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Women $x Education $z Afghanistan $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Girls $z Afghanistan $x Social conditions $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Women $z Afghanistan $x Social conditions $y 21st century. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Bralo, Tamara, $e author. 941 $a 4 952 $l XHPD657 $d 20240514010600.0 952 $l OCPA943 $d 20240411010708.0 952 $l NJPD993 $d 20240301155114.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20240224010734.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6A323146D2E211EE84426D1826ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
