Our Women on the Ground
«Zahra Hankir’s pioneering collection is required reading... An antidote to the endless stream of 'clickbait' and 'content', this is journalism at its most honest and reflective – a multi-dimensional narrative about what it means to be a female journalist in the Arab world and in the West... Hankir shines a light on the strength of those who have reported on war and womanhood and invites us to 'listen to what they have to say'. I urge you to accept her invitation.»
Sarah Collins, The Arts Desk Books of the Year

Sarah Collins, The Arts Desk Books of the Year
«A stirring, provocative and well-made new anthology . . . a book that banishes all manner of silences... that rewrites the hoary rules of the foreign correspondent playbook, deactivating the old clichés. »
Dwight Garner, New York Times
«The journalists in this book have demonstrated the highest professional achievements and courage. . . Without them, the stories of today and tomorrow will remain only partly told.»
Christiane Amanpour, from the Foreword
«A refreshing insight...our knowledge of the Middle East is richer and more nuanced thanks to these courageous women; it is long past time that we looked at things from their perspectives.»
Bethan McKernan, Guardian
«Showcases journalism at its bravest. Determination, grit and humour shine through the writing.»
Lindsey Hilsum, Observer Books of the Year
