Photographer Harriet Logan first visited Afghanistan in 1997, when the Taliban had been in power for only 15 months. She made friends with women who were compelled to wear a head-to-toe veil in public -- but in private, showed a very different face. NPR's Jacki Lyden talks with Logan about her new book, Unveiled: Voices of Women in Afghanistan.
