Description

Sara My Whole Life was a Struggle is a memoir by Kurdish revolutionary Sakine Cansiz, co-founder of the Kurdistan Workers' Party. Published in 2018, it recounts her life's work leading up to her assassination in Paris in 2013. The book offers a first-hand account of her experiences as she rose through the ranks of the movement, challenging traditional gender roles and advocating for female recruitment and equality within the PKK. Cansiz writes about the excitement of entering the movement as a young woman, discovering that she would have to challenge these expectations in order to make a difference. Her story is one of path-breaking courage and conviction, offering a unique perspective on the Kurdish struggle for liberation. Translated by Janet Biehl, this memoir provides a shocking and thought-provoking insight into the life of a remarkable woman. Today, Sakine Cansiz's legacy continues to inspire women fighting for liberation around the world. Her story is both a testament to her own strength and resilience, and a powerful call to action for those seeking to challenge injustice and inequality.
