March 10: The Underground Girls of Kabul (2014) by Jenny Nordberg

In Afghanistan, a culture ruled almost entirely by men, the birth of a son is cause for celebration and the arrival of a daughter is often mourned as misfortune.  A bacha posh (literally translated from Dari as “dressed up like a boy”) is a third kind of child – a girl temporarily raised as a boy and presented as such to the outside world.  Jenny Nordberg, the reporter who broke the story of this phenomenon for the New York Times, constructs a powerful and moving account of those secretly living on the other side of a deeply segregated society where women have almost no rights and little freedom.

 

March Wine & Tapas — March 14

Please join​ us for an evening of wine, tapas, and​ friendly ​conversation.

Location: Palermo – Exact address provided upon RSVP
Date: Saturday, March 14th.
Time: 8.00 p.m. 

Our host this month adds:
Show up anytime between 8 and 9; the party generally ends at 11 or so.   People are truly welcome to stay and sip wine thereafter until I change into my pajamas, which is my subtle way of hinting that it is time to go home.  Which might be at 12, or might be at 3.


How does it work? Bring wine, finger food, and your sparkling self to join other BAIN members in a night of socializing and making new friends.  We look forward to catching up with you!

Our host this month further adds: if you bring your own serving dish and utensils that would help, as I have a limited supply to share.

Please email RSVPs to jisaacs61.com

The address will be sent to you via email response.
