The Underground Girls of Kabul
''The Underground Girls of Kabul: in Search of a Hidden Resistance in Afghanistan'' is a book that documents the bacha posh of Afghanistan. Bacha posh translates from Dari as “dressed up like a boy.” It is a term used in Afghanistan and in this book to describe children who are born as girls but are dressed up, raised and treated as if they were boys.The girls will usually serve as a son for the family until she hits puberty. However, the book also delves deeper into those bacha posh that remain boys even after puberty. It is written by journalist and foreign correspondent Jenny Nordberg and was published on September 16 of 2014. It was later released on the 30th of September in the UK.
== Synopsis ==
The book follows the stories of many women who are or who have been bacha posh. It also offers the insight of mothers considering bacha posh for her newborn daughters. Some families who have only a daughter or multiple daughters will designate their children as sons instead. The communities in which they live are often tolerant of this for the span of their childhood.
The experiences of these individuals give personal accounts of how some women handle the treatment of girls in modern day Afghanistan. There is tremendous importance placed on being male or having male children.〔 To grow up as a boy instead of as a girl in Afghanistan offers the child freedom and autonomy that young girls do not have access to. Oftentimes the mother is judged as well for not bearing a son.
