How the women of the YPJ led the fight against ISIS
In the years-long battle to retake northeastern Syria from ISIS, a small but powerful band of fighters led the way.

Author and journalist Gayle Tzemach Lemmon spent years reporting on their stories. She joins Amna Nawaz to discuss her new book, "The Daughters of Kobani."
