About this event
The Last Free Women: A Daring Escape from Afghanistan and Coming of Age in America What does it take to leave everything you’ve ever known in the pursuit of freedom? Join a compelling conversation with award-winning journalist Rebecca Blumenstein as she shares this true story. During the 2021 Afghanistan evacuation—as The New York Times worked to help save hundreds of lives—four young Afghan women faced an impossible choice: remain in place or risk everything for an uncertain future. Blumenstein traces their extraordinary journey from Afghanistan to Houston, offering an unforgettable story of courage, resilience and hope, and the enduring power of freedom, belonging and new beginnings. Supported by the Diane Danburg Statham Endowment Fund Patron Sponsor: Barbara and Mark Paull
