The book is broken into three and Self the rise of the Kurdish freedom movement from the rubbles of two world wars provides an accessible explanation of the origins and theoretical foundation of the movement.
The Rebellion of the Oldest Jineology the Science of Women describes the undercurrents and nuance of the Kurdish women movement and how they have managed to create the most vibrant and succesful feminist movement in the middle east.
