On this edition of Your Call, we’ll discuss the new memoir, Defiant Dreams: The Journey of an Afghan Girl Who Risked Everything for Education, which tells the story of Sola Mahfouz, a young woman who fights to secretly educate herself under Taliban rule. Sola Mahfouz taught herself math and English online for years, eventually escaping to the United States, where she is now a quantum computing researcher at Tufts University. Later in the show, we’ll discuss the current state of women’s rights under Taliban control.
