Zarifa: A Woman's Battle in a Man's World

By Zarifa Ghafari, Hannah Lucinda Smith

"Zarifa Ghafari was three years old when the Taliban banned girls from schools, and she began her education in secret. She was six when American airstrikes began. She was twenty-four when she became mayor - one of the first female mayors in the country - and first of Wardak, one of the most conservative provinces in Afghanistan. An extremist mob barred her from her office; her male staff walked out in protest; assassins tried to kill her three times. Through it all, Zarifa stood her ground. She ended corruption in the municipality, promoted peace, and tried to lift up women, despite constant fear for herself and her family. When the Taliban took Kabul in 2021, Ghafari had to flee. But even that couldn't stop her. Six months later, she returned, to continue her work empowering women."--Provided by publisher.

Time Travelers: Victorian Encounters with Time and History

"Time Travelers is a book about the different and complex ways in which Victorians approached the past, offering a vivid new picture of the Victorian world and its historical obsessions. Although the nineteenth century was not the first to be fascinated by history, the intensity and range of the Victorian preoccupations with the past was unprecedented and of lasting importance. It gave rise, for example, to many of our modern disciplines, and the accessibility of these new pasts to ever broader social groups gave them unprecedented power to shape culture in ways that continue to structure our own engagements with the past"--
