Books & Brews: My Beautiful Sisters by Khalida Popal
Wednesday, March 18, 7-8 p.m. / Eddie's Restaurant, 10 E. Northwest Hwy. / Register
This memoir is a raw, urgent testament to what happens when women dare to play, and dare to fight, for their right to exist on their own terms in a repressive regime. Popal's journey, from refugee to founder and captain of Afghanistan's women's soccer team, unfolds with astonishing courage under constant threat. The true power of the memoir lies in its depiction of sisterhood, and the way sport becomes a vehicle for hope, identity and collective survival. Presented as part of Women's History Month.
