this is my blog.

Baghdad Burning: A girl blog from Iraq. New York: Feminist Press, 2005.We are currently reading Baghdad Burning in class. It really applies to our class because it is a blog. Our main focus in class is about blogs. Women also are a marginalized group and reading the story gives us an insight to how that part of the world is oppressed. The story is about middle class women in her mid twenties. Her name is Riverbend and she is in the middle of the war in Iraq. She lives with her mother, father and brother. Sitting and watching the war has become a normalcy in Baghdad. In the beginning of the book it gives us back round of the war and how it relates to the Gulf War. The book also talks about how women are in fear for their lives every time they leave there house. I am very interested in continuing reading this book I would really like to know about how the world lives that I know nothing about.
