The Daughters Of Kobani
For more than six months, a remarkable group of women’s protection units fought to maintain a Kurdish-majority city in Syria in 2014 during a siege by the Islamic State group.Though the experienced ISIS fighters had advanced weapons, money and resources, it would be the Kurdish units, not the extremist militants, who won the battle for the town of Rojava.In her new book “The Daughters of Kobani: A Story of Rebellion, Courage, and Justice," Gayle Tzemach Lemmon, an adjunct senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, contends it was the tenacity and ingenuity of the women involved in this battle (as well as U.S. airpower) that played a key role in turning the tide.
