Zahra Hankir, a Lebanese British journalist, is behind the anthology “Our Women on the Ground: Essays by Arab Women Reporting from the Middle East” recently published by Penguin Books. This anthology tells the story of 19 women journalists working in different countries from Cairo, Beirut, Baghdad and other cities which are often characterized by conflicts and struggles. In these essays journalists are telling their own personal and professional experiences covering war zones, revolutions and political crisis. We talked with Zahra Hankir about the process of making this anthology and the work behind it.
