What we all should be reading
Zainab Salbi is one of the most amazing women I've ever met. Daughter of Saddam Hussain's private pilot, refugee of Iraq, and founder of Womenforwomen.org. She took a life of fear and turned it into an amazing and powerful example of how life is what we make it. She not only made her own life, but currently, on a daily basis, changes the lives of widows living in poverty all over the world.
Although I've felt the need to talk about her organization, this book is not written as an advertisement for Women for Women. It is the story of her childhood under the Iraq military's shadow, her young adulthood where she is sent to the US as a refugee, and married off to a man she couldn't love, and how she discovered her own strength and freedom.
