The Daughters of Kobani

The Daughters of Kobani tells the heroic tale of a group of Kurdish women who fought against ISIS and emerged victorious. Author Gayle Tzemach Lemmon draws on years of on-the-ground reporting and interview to introduce readers to these women and their determination to prove that women can lead in war and can enjoy equal rights in peace. Through their efforts to defeat ISIS and spread their political vision, these women cemented their place in the world's best hope for stopping the terrorist group worldwide. This rigorously reported and powerfully told story is a lesson in heroism, sacrifice, and the real meaning of sisterhood.
