Well, she is another women's rights activist from Afghanistan. The more I read about these strong women from Afghanistan, the more impressed I am with them. These are women that risk death for their cause, and yet they are willing to take that chance in order to keep the women's issue on the agenda. My hat goes off to them and I wish them much success!

Her name is MALALAI JOYA

Ahem, now that I have all of your attention:     

This is another brave and strong woman which I highly respect and support. At only 27 years of age, she is the feminist voice in her country and is considered to be the most famous woman of her country. She fears being assassinated, like all the other outspoken women before her, and she knows her mission can get her killed, to which she responds, They will kill me but they will not kill my voice because it will be the voice of all women of [my country]. I admire her when she says, I am not better than any of the others, but I am young and energetic and the women of [my country] need me.   Every country needs strong women like this one!

Who is she?

Mazier jaan,
 
The western parts of Pakistan, i.e. Baluchistan, the North West Frontier Province, and the Federally Administered Tribal Areas are all AFGHAN areas. 18.99% of Pakistan's population is of Iranic/Iranian descent and these are not refugees, their lands were given by the British when Pakistan was formed in 1947 and the Durand Line expired in 1993 and these areas of Pakistan were to go back to Afghanistan and Iran, respectively.
 
Afghans living in Afghanistan: 31.056 million
 
Afghans (largely Pashtun and Baloch) living in Pakistan: 31.50 million
 
Hence, the reason Hekmatyar enjoys so much support in Pakistan and not Iran (which is largley Shia).

Mazier, I don't know where you came across the idea that Iran was harboring Hekmatyar who is a Pashtun Sunni Muslim. His supporters are the Pashtuns and other Sunni Afghans who live in southern Afghanistan and the tribal areas of northwestern Pakistan (where some 31.5 million Afghans of Pashtun and Baloch ethnicity reside.)

Hekmatyar was given refuge by the Iranian regime after he became an ally of Osama bin Laden and the Taliban.
 
The Iranian regime also gave refuge to Hazara (Shia) and Tajik (Shia) leaders, most notably, Ismail Khan of Herat, southwestern Afghanistan. Iran was also the biggest supporter of the mujahideen in Bosnia and sent thousands of fighters and guns to the Bosniaks. Are you saying that the Iranians should not support their co-religionists, Mazier? If Iran did not support the Bosniaks during the Balkan War, then they would have been completely annihilated.
 
Also, isn't one of bin Laden's many sons living in or around Tehran, Iran now?

Gulbuddin Hekmatyar was the CIA's favorite mujahideen commander. He was referred to by CIA cheifs as "our blue-eyed mujahid".

WOW, I'm amazed that no one was able to identify this woman. Well, here's the answer:

She is..... Meena Keshwar Kamal also referred to as the "Heroine of Afghanistan" and founder of RAWA (Revolutionary Association for the Women of Afghanistan).

This is what I consider to be a strong and determined woman! She founded a leading organization in Afghanistan (meant to give voice to the deprived and silenced women of Afghanistan), and launched a feminist magazine in 1981. She represented the Afghan resistance movement at the French Socialist Party Congress, where she started waiving a victory sign. Unfortunately, she was assassinated (one year after her husbands assassination) by (some say) fundamentalist Mujahideen leader, Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, fearing the love and respect she was creating from her people. She brought awareness of the womens movement and is considered a martyr by some. Who is she?

Bravo, Gundamor...   

Yes, she was very beautiful, but very unhappy when she became famous. She hated all the publicity and lack of privacy afforded her with notoriety.

Okay, here's an easy one!




She was born in Stockholm, Sweden in 1905. She started working in a barbershop as a lather girl (hmm sounds interesting!) and later a model. She went on to become one of Americas leading film actresses and was especially known for her reclusiveness. Her famous line was I vant to be alone! [emphasis supplied on her accent]!

Great job, Gundamor!    

Maziar, for the record, Magda Goebbels was born in 1901, not 1911 as you stated.

I even heared that Hitler arranged the marriage, as she, being a very pretty woman, would improve the image of Goebbels, who himself had the charisma of a slug...

Women hold their councils of war in kitchens: the knives are there, and the cups of coffee, and the towels to dry the tears.

Very good GundamorClap, yes, Johanna Maria Magdalena Goebbels ne Behrend this is her full name. Well rumors said that magda was for a short time in love with Speer the architect, i don't know if this was true or not. But we know she was in love with Hitler, and she married Joseph Goebbels, the propagand minister of Hitler to be near to him.

Born 1911 in Berlin, she loved Hitler and wanted to marry him, but Hitler ignored her, so she has married one of his important ministers.As the red army entered Berlin She, her husband and6 childrentogether with Hitler and Eva Braun moved into Fhrerbunker. In bunker She has commited suicid after ahe has drugged her 6 children with morphine, and killed them with cyanide capsules.


Magda Goebbels. I always thought she was in love with Speer though. Or maybe it was the other way around.
