The bravest woman in Afghanistan is what Malalai Joya, the first female member of that county's national legislature, (and the first woman to be kicked out of the same body) is called in many quarters. She has survived numerous assassination attempts, but refuses to be silenced by the war lords masquerading as democrats put in power by the American invasion, and sustained there through violence, intimidation, and corruption. Malalai
 Joya is again in Canada, enemy territory, touring with her autobiography, 'A Woman Among Warlords.'
