OUR WOMEN ON THE GROUND KARTONIERT (TB)

Nineteen Arab women journalists speak out about what it's like to report on their changing
homelands in this first-of-its-kind essay collection  with a foreword by CNN chief
international correspondent Christiane Amanpour A stirring  provocative and well-made new
anthology . . . that rewrites the hoary rules of the foreign correspondent playbook 
deactivating the old clichés. -Dwight Garner  The New York Times A growing number of intrepid
Arab and Middle Eastern sahafiyat-female journalists-are working tirelessly to shape nuanced
narratives about their changing homelands  often risking their lives on the front lines of war.
From sexual harassment on the streets of Cairo to the difficulty of traveling without a male
relative in Yemen  their challenges are unique-as are their advantages  such as being able to
speak candidly with other women at a Syrian medical clinic or attend an exclusive beauty
contest for sheep in Saudi Arabia. In Our Women on the Ground  nineteen of these women tell us
in their own words  about what it's like to report on conflicts that (quite literally) hit
close to home. Their daring and heartfelt stories  told here for the first time  shatter
stereotypes about the region's women and provide an urgently needed perspective on a part of
the world that is frequently misunderstood. INCLUDING ESSAYS BY: Donna Abu-Nasr  Aida Alami
