Riverbend. Baghdad Burning: a Girl Blog From Iraq. New York: The Feminist Press At the City University of New York, 2005.

This Book was written by a young woman in Iraq during the war. She focuses on the oppression she faces and how scared she becomes throughout the conflict. She offers great insight to what it would be like if us Americans were put on the other side. She lived in Baghdad, right in the middle of the warzone. This book started off as a blog online and acheived an audience of millions. It shed a light on the terror of the war. This relates to our class because Riverbend was a woman who was opressed in Iraq just for being a woman. Women at this point were losing their rights left and right because of the regime changes and the rise of fundamentalists.
