Frontrunner: The Afghan Woman Who Surprised the World (Enhanced DVD)

Being a woman in Afghanistan is difficult. In fact, in 2011, The Daily Beast ranked Afghanistan 164 out of 165 countries in its "Best Countries for Women" list, taking into account health care, education, and justice for women in the courts.

It is inspiring to many, then, that in 2004, despite death threats, bombings and a grueling campaign, Dr. Massouda Jalal, a woman, faced off against Hamid Karzai in Afghanistan's presidential election.

Product Description:

Massouda Jalal was not involved in politics during the Taliban's control of Afghanistan, but in 2001, Jalal became a symbol for Afghan women when she became the only woman to run in the 2004 presidential election. Jalal did not win the election, but her efforts paved the way for other women to become more involved in changing the way Afghan women are viewed both in Afghanistan and throughout the world.
