“For once the women rides, the man walks: In Asia one often sees the lord of the household mounted and his helpmate not only on foot but carrying a burden—an old custom which proves little but suggests much. At this break in the mid-city covered bazaar of Herat, the reversal of the usual attracts less attention than does a camera.”
—From “Afghanistan Makes Haste Slowly,” December 1933, National Geograhic magazine
