Algerian restaurant owner forces her way into a man's world

Karima Daikhi sells bourek, a local specialty of fish wrapped in crispy pastry.

Haggling with the fishermen in the seaside village of Bouharoun for the produce she serves in her restaurant, Algerian Karima Daikhi is a woman determined to make her way in a man's world.

When her husband was killed by jihadists in 1995, Daikhi had no choice but to enter the growing pool of female wage-earners in a country where, outside the largest cities, women were once expected to stay at home.
