"I had to share a room with my sister, who is five and a half years older than I am. We didn't get along well, and I felt that I had no privacy.

I used to spend hours reading in the bathroom -- and we only had one bathroom in our small apartment!"

-- Gail Carson Levine

“Throughout the last century there were multiple attempts at giving Afghan women more autonomy, to change marriage laws, to abolish the practice of bride price and child marriage, and to enforce women to be involved in school. Every time, the reaction from the traditionalists was one of contempt and scorn and at times outright rebellion. I think the emancipation of women in Afghanistan has to come from inside, through Afghans themselves, gradually, over time.”
