This article relates to the day's reading for multiple reasons. For one, the article is dedicated to Afghan women and how the new government passed a law that further limits their rights as human beings. The law was intended to make women even more of a possession of their husband's than before. Ideas brought up in the Bookseller of Kabul, are seen in the article, like for example, the way that the women are allowed to dress. The new law made it illegal for women to refuse to 'dress up' if that was what her husband wanted her to do. This is similar to how Sultan forbade Sonya to wear her burka after the Taliban left. This article is important because it brings the story even more to life, and makes one realize how true some of the experiences felt by the women in the book really are.
