A best-selling author and expert on foreign relations has highlighted the harrowing work of the members of an all-women Kurdish-Syrian militia, who have come toe-to-toe with their male counterparts in combatting ISIS, Fox News’s Shannon Bream reported Saturday.
Bream spoke to Gayle Tzemach Lemmon, author of "The Daughters of Kobani: A Story of Rebellion, Courage, and Justice." In her New York Times best-seller, Lemmon tells the story of the members of the Kurdish Women’s Protection Units (YPJ), a militia of women who fought in combat alongside their male counterparts and American forces. "It was a story that I really felt like I had to tell," Lemmon said in a segment that aired Saturday morning on "Fox & Friends."More Related News
