Afghan Women's Writing Project

The Afghan Women’s Writing Project began during novelist Masha Hamilton’s last trip to Afghanistan in 2008. She began to fear we could lose access to the voices of Afghan women if we didn’t act soon. The Project is aimed at allowing Afghan women to develop a direct voice in the world and share their stories. Know Theatre commissioned playwrights Lauren Hynek and Elizabeth Martin to curate a performance piece from the writings available on the Project website (www.awwproject.org).
