An motivating personal tale by the most dominant Muslim woman activist and legislator for women's protection under the law in Pakistan. In nov 2001, a newlywed English professor took on employment enhancing the "women's section" of one of Pakistan's leading Urdu papers. She soon changed pages of star gossip and fashion advice into a car for the investigation of the true lives of Pakistani women. News of acid episodes on hapless women, the trading of females as money in tribal disputes, and other abuses changed this young mom into a fiery advocate for women's protection under the law - one guided by Islamic ethics and ideals of communal justice as she taught rural leaders to tell apart between faith and tribal custom. Her dedication to her countrywomen led her to a seat in the Provincial Assembly of the Punjab, where she fought to safeguard women, females, and the indegent. Humaira Awais Shahid's extraordinarily warm and passionate voice provides exceptional perception into how Islamic worth and ethics might yet be a vehicle for intensifying change in the expanding world.
