In 1996, when the Taliban entered Kabul, Latifa was sixteen and wanted to be a journalist. Schools were closed and women were confined and forced to cover their faces.

The subtitle of the work is «Avoir vingt ans à Kaboul»; the work originally appeared in 2001 and this edition is from 2003.
For readers interested in memoirs, the history of Afghanistan and the situation of women under the Taliban regime.
Latifa, Lateefa or Lateefah is a feminine Arabic (لٓطِيفٓة) given name which means "gentle", "nice" or "pleasant". It corresponds to the masculine Latif.
