"Quiet Revolution:"
In a move considered immodest by many conservative Muslims, Farzana
Samemi, adjusts her head scarf to show some hair before doing a broadcast
for Afghanistan's Tolo television network in Kabul, where she was
the first woman to do so since the fall of the Taliban. 'My husband
supports me,' she says, but admits he gets concerned when she shows
too much hair. Another female presenter at the network was shot and
killed in 2005. |
