In this remarkable book, Shirin Ebadi, Iranian human rights lawyer
and activist, and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, tells her
extraordinary life story. Dr Ebadi is a tireless voice for reform
in her native Iran, where she argues for a new interpretation of
Sharia law in harmony with vital human rights such as democracy,
equality before the law, religious freedom and freedom of speech.
She is known for defending dissident figures, and for the
establishment of a number of non-profit grassroots organisations
dedicated to human rights. In 2003 she became the first Muslim
woman, and the first Iranian, to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
She chronicles her childhood and upbringing before the Iranian
Revolution, her education and student years at the University of
Tehran, her marriage and its challenges, her religious faith, and
her life as a mother and as an advocate for the oppressed. As a
human rights campaigner, in particular for women, children and
political prisoners in Iran, her autobiography is a must-read for
anyone fascinated by the life story and beliefs of a courageous and
unusual woman, as well as those interested in current events
(especially those of the Middle East), and those who want to know
the truth about the position of women in a Muslim society.
