Fresh out of college and passionate about photography, Deborah Copaken Kogan moved to Paris in 1988 and began knocking on photo agency doors, begging to be given a photojournalism assignment. Within weeks she was on the back of a truck in Afghanistan, the only woman—and the only journalist—in a convoy of mujahideen, the rebel “freedom fighters” at the time. She had traveled there with a handsome but dangerously unpredictable Frenchman, and the interwoven stories of their relationship and the assignment set the pace for Shutterbabe ’s six chapters, each covering a different corner of the globe, each linked to a man in Kogan’s life at the time. From Zimbabwe to Romania, from Russia to Haiti, Kogan takes her readers on a heartbreaking yet surprisingly hilarious journey through a mine-strewn decade, seamlessly blending her personal battles—sexism, battery, life-threatening danger—with the historical ones—wars, revolution, unfathomable suffering—it was her job to record.

Od prvního dne je osobní asistentce Miny Appletonové jasné, co se od ní čeká. Absolutní diskrétnost. Dvacet let je Christine oddaná služebnice a tichý svědek všeho, co se v Minině životě děje. Den za dnem, rok za rokem tu Christine byla, neviditelná – sledovala, poslouchala a veškerá tajemství udržovala v bezpečí. Místo odměny se ale dočká kruté nespravedlnosti. Ovšem tak vytrvalou ženu, jako je Christine, není radno podceňovat.
