«De förklädda flickorna i Kabul» is Jenny Nordberg's reportage, published by Månpocket in paperback (366 pages, in Swedish).
In Kabul, some families with only daughters follow the bacha posh practice: they dress a girl as a boy to gain status and give her freedom. Jenny Nordberg follows several girls and families and shows the dilemma of puberty, when they must become women again and are married off. A reportage on identity, gender and contradictions in Afghan society.
The work was originally published in English as The Underground Girls of Kabul in 2014; the Swedish edition is from 2015, translated by Ann-Marie Ljungberg.
For readers interested in Afghanistan, gender roles and narrative journalism.
