Voice of rebellion : how Mozhdah Jamalzadah brought hope to Afghanistan / Roberta Staley.

Staley, Roberta, (author.).

Summary:

Many have tried to silence her, but Mozhdah Jamalzadah remains the most powerful female voice of her generation in Afghanistan, boldly speaking out about women's rights. This book charts her incredible journey - from arriving in Canada as a child refugee to being invited to host her own show in Afghanistan. The Mozhdah Show earned her the nickname "The Oprah of Afghanistan" and tackled taboo subjects like divorce and domestic violence for the first time in the country's history. This is the first-ever biography of Mozhdah Jamalzadah: refugee, pop singer, and champion of women's rights.
