Women of the World Nomad Games 2018

Baktygul Rakymbaeva, 16, is one of few women or girls who can recite the Epic of Manas, a poem dating back to the 18th century that consists of approximately 500,000 lines and tells the history and events of the Kyrgyzstan region. She began learning it at the age of four but stopped because she was repeatedly told it was inappropriate for a woman to be reciting the Manas. She started again when she was 12 and began to win competitions, which brought support from her family and friends. (Photo by Eleanor Moseman/The Guardian)
