The founder of the Kabul Beauty School describes the lives of women in the patriarchal society of Afghanistan from the perspective of the school and its students, offering profiles of such women as a newlywed who must fake her own virginity, a child bride sold into marriage to pay her family's debts, and the wife of a Taliban member who pursues her training despite her husband's abuse.

I listened to this one a few months ago. It is an educational read in the cultural limitations placed on the Afgan women and those restrictions of the Taliban. A worthwhile read. I'm thinking it may have read by the author-I really enjoyed it, told in 1st person.
