Where are the feminists?

The international feminist movement has two problems with the success of Afghan women.

First, they were liberated by Pres. Bush and the US.

Second, Afghan women don't believe in abortion.

Beyond that, how can we continue to avoid the success stories in Afghanistan.

Myrna Blyth writes about women's issues. She is the author of "Spin Sisters: How the Women of the Media Sell Unhappiness — and Liberalism — to the Women of America".

Today, she wrote Afghan Entrepreneuses--A group of Afghan businesswomen visited the U.S. for a management course:

"I met an amazing group of Afghan women last week.

We met at Thunderbird, the graduate school of international business located in Phoenix.

The women, all entrepreneurs in Afghanistan, had come for a two-week course to improve their business skills.

In between classes in marketing and finance, they had time to see a few sights, including the Grand Canyon and, almost as exciting, a dollar store.

In Afghanistan they run a surprising array of businesses.

One is an engineer and heads an Association of Women Engineers. Her business is the construction of small villages.

Another manufactures soccer balls, while a third has a company that produces washing powder in Kabul. Her competition, not surprising, consists of imports from China."

What an amazing story. Yet, an unreported amazing story.
