Hi b-witch,

You're finding some wonderful articles about Afghan women. Thank you so much. I was struck by a fact in one of the pieces you posted this morning, estimating that, due to all the years of war, it is estimated that females now comprise 65% of the population there. It seems to me yet another good reason for women to have some kind of representation in government there.

This struck me as well:

In Kabul, prior to the overthrow of the king, 40 percent of those in the health sector were women. The education sector in Kabul had over 60 percent women.

That's remarkable.
