A Woman Like Her is a book by author Sanam Maher.
The murder of a Pakistani social media star exposes a culture divided between promoting modernity and traditional values.
In 2016, Pakistan’s first social media celebrity, Qandeel Baloch, was murdered in a suspected honor killing. Her death quickly became a sensation in the media.
Qandeel has garnered attention and outrage with a talent for self-promotion that has earned her comparisons to Kim Kardashian – and made her a constant victim of harassment and death threats. Honor killings and forced marriages rapidly, if irregularly, modernized Pakistan and Qandeel Baloch’s story has become a symbol of cultural divides.
Sanam Maher reconstructs the story of Qandeel’s life and explores the depth and breadth of her legacy from her notoriously impoverished homeland, to Internet activists fighting the same bad game. online evil that she has to face. Maher describes a society at a fork in the road, where women become easy scapegoats for their anxieties and deviations, and mocks the conspiracies and mythical fabrications of the Qandeel Baloch story to restore humanity to the woman at its center.
