The inspiring memoir of the warrior for women who's defied the Taliban at every turn - doctor, public official, founder of schools and hospitals, and Nobel Peace Prize nominee
'I have three strikes against me. I'm a woman, I speak out for women, and I'm Hazara, the most persecuted ethnic group in Afghanistan.'
Dr Sima Samar has been fighting for equality and justice for most of her life. Born into a polygamous family, she learned early that girls had inferior status, and she had to agree to an arranged marriage if she wanted to go to university. By the time she was in medical school, she had a son, Ali, and had become a revolutionary. After her husband was disappeared by the pro-Russian regime, she escaped. With her son and medical degree, she took off into the rural areas - by horseback, by donkey, even on foot - to treat people who had never had medical help before.
