Guest House for Young Widows - by Azadeh Moaveni (Hardcover)

Guest House for Young Widows is a gripping account of 13 women who joined, endured, and escaped life in the Islamic State.

Based on years of immersive reporting by Pulitzer finalist, Moaveni, this book gives voice to the women in the organization, shedding light on their motivations and experiences.

From educated daughters of diplomats to teenagers with straight-A averages, these women were recruited, inspired, or compelled to join the militants, setting up makeshift clinics and schools for the Islamic homeland they envisioned.

This book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the terrifying rise of ISIS and the role of women in the organization.
