Slaves, wives and brides paints the situation of women under the role of the Islamic group ISIS. This group, that at one stage occupied large parts of Iraq and Syria, kidnapped thousands of Yazidi women as sex slaves and treated them like animals. Western women were recruited to give birth to the next generation of fighters. Some of them volunteered to work with a special police force that checked if women were abiding by the strict rules - acting no less brutal than the ISIS men. All these women play a role in the history that was written in Iraq and Syria.In Slaves, wives and brides, Judit Neurink gives a voice to Yazidi women who escaped from the state that ISIS founded and bear witness to the brutal treatment they received there. She tells the story of the American aid worker Kayla Mueller who was the slave and even wife of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. She phones women in the occupied city of Mosul and analyses the rights that ISIS propaganda is giving to women. Thus, a clear image is drawn of the black reality of life under the occupation of ISIS. The book is a complete update, after the liberation of Mosul and other areas in Iraq, of Neurink's book The Women of the Caliphate.Judit Neurink (1957) is a Dutch journalist who lived in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq for ten years.
