Mendes, Jessica. "Taliban Rulers Curtail Women's Freedom, Healthcare." Canadian Medical Association Journal 165.10 (2001): 1,369.

This article is a short and to the point reading about the deteriorating health of Afghani women, due to the Taliban's strict policies back in 2001. It also mentions how the restriction of education to women was decreasing the number of practicing female physicians in the country, which made it almost impossible for a woman to seek healthcare; The Taliban restricted men to view any body parts of a woman. Though it was a very brief article, a lot of the information would be useful for my research project since it goes into detail about the treatment of women in Afghanistan during the Taliban regime.
