      abstract = {19 Arab women journalists speak out about what it's like  to report on their changing homelands in this  first-of-its-kind essay collection, with a foreword by CNN  Chief International Correspondent Christiane Amanpour.  International media coverage of the Arab world and its many  complex, interconnected conflicts is dominated by the work  of Western correspondents, many of whom are white and  male--meaning we see only one side of the story. But a  growing number of intrepid Arab women, whose access to and  understanding of their subjects are vastly different than  their Western counterparts, are working tirelessly to shape  more nuanced narratives about their homelands through their  work as reporters and photojournalists. Their voices have  rarely been heard on the international stage--until now. In  Our Women on the Ground, nineteen of these women tell us,  in their own words, about what it's like to report on  conflicts that are (quite literally) close to home. From  sexual harassment on the streets of Cairo to the  impossibility of traveling without a male relative in  Yemen, their challenges are unique--as are their  advantages, such as being able to speak candidly with other  women or gain entry to places that an outsider would never  be able to access. Their daring, shocking, and heartfelt  stories, told here for the first time, shatter stereotypes  about Arab women and provide an urgently needed perspective  on a part of the world that is often misunderstood.},
