In her book Guesthouse for Young Widows the American journalist and academic Azadeh Moaveni follows the lives of 13 women who went to the Islamic State. One of them is Shamima Begum, who left her home in London to become wife &amp; widow of an ISIS fighter.<\/p>\n<p>Was it empowerment, boredom or a radical political mind that drove these women to join Islamists in the Middle East? How did they decide to join a movement so particularly repressive to women? In conversation with Tessa Szyszkowitz Azadeh Moaveni will shed light on the biographies of these women, but also explore the question of their future: Do countries like the UK or Germany, from where these women took off, have a responsibility to take them back? Shamima Begum for example has been stripped of her British citizenship. Moaveni, who heads the Crisis Group's Gender and Conflict Project, scrutinises states\u2019 policies to see whether they are working and not adding to their problems with militants.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Azadeh Moaveni<\/strong> is a journalist, writer, and academic who has been covering the Middle East for two decades. She is the author of Lipstick Jihad, Honeymoon in Tehran, co-author, with Nobel Laureate Shirin Ebadi, of Iran Awakening, and Guest House for Young Widows. She lectures in journalism at New York University, London and directs the Gender and Conflict Project at the International Crisis Group. Her work often appears in The Guardian and The New York Times, among others.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tessa Szyszkowitz<\/strong> is a journalist, writer and historian currently working for Falter, profil &amp; Cicero.
