About This Book

Queer feminist Afghan-American student Sabeena writes a series of letters to her sister Meena in this cut and paste, type and handwritten perzine. She intersperses lecture notes, vehement discourses on women's reproductive rights, and a list of books she is reading, including Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi. She writes about praying and tradition as a Muslim woman and the segregation and racism in her mosque and the aftermath of a bombing attack. She also includes a story about New York City Pride and a friend in drag. In addition, Shah is studying Farsi, and includes phrases and words.
