The Americans effectively created two Afghanistans: the countryside, mired in endless conflict, and the urban streets of Kabul, prosperous and hopeful. This summer, @Anand_Gopal_ travelled to rural villages in the country to interview dozens of women. nyer.cm/96qzTci
More than 70 per cent of Afghans do not live in cities, and the endless killing of civilians in rural villages has turned many women who live there against the American occupiers who claimed that they were helping. nyer.cm/96qzTci
Shakira, who lives in the Sangin Valley, has lost 16 family members in what some locals call the American War, including a 15-year-old who was killed by a drone while riding his motorcycle. nyer.cm/96qzTci

On #WomensEqualityDay2021, a selection of recent pieces by @louisahthomas, on the gender pay gap in women’s sports, and the women who are paving the way for future generations.
You could transform an entire women’s sports organization by spending roughly the amount that the Detroit Pistons pay for a single bench player, @louisahthomas writes. A new network of professional women’s leagues is trying to reimagine the business. nyer.cm/jEezJE0
Hou Yifan became a Grandmaster at the age of 14, and is the only active woman among the 100 best chess players in the world. “My parents never taught me that, as a girl, you should do this or that,” she told @louisahthomas. nyer.cm/I4L1RZL
