In a small town called Kobani, an all-female militia bravely confronted the Islamic State (ISIS) in a battle few had heard of. By that time, ISIS had conquered vast territories and caused widespread terror as the country descended into civil war.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHowever, from this unlikely confrontation emerged a formidable force that would join forces with the United States to combat ISIS across northern Syria. These women, known as the Daughters of Kobani, embarked on a mission to bring about women's equality by fighting against the men who commodified and sold women.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Daughters of Kobani is an unforgettable account of the women of the Kurdish militia who defied expectations and played a pivotal role in the global fight against ISIS.
