Requests:  0 Summary:  This is a memoir about living, loving, dreaming, daring, and driving while female--in a country where it's dangerous to do all of the above. Manal al-Sharif grew up in Mecca the second daughter of a taxi driver, born the year strict fundamentalism took hold. In her adolescence, she was religious radical, melting her brother's boy band CDs in the oven because music was haram: forbidden by Islamic law. But what a difference an education can make. By her twenties, she was a computer security engineer, one of a few women working in a desert compound built to resemble suburban America. That's when the Saudi kingdom's contradictions became too much to bear: she was labeled a slut for chatting with male colleagues, her school-age brother chaperoned her on a business trip, and while she kept a car in her garage, she was forbidden from driving on Saudi streets. Manal-al-Sharif has written a fiercely intimate memoir about the making of an accidental activist, a vivid story of a young Muslim woman who stood up to a kingdom of men--and won. Daring to Drive is a remarkable celebration of resilience in the face of tyranny, the extraordinary power of education and female solidarity, and the difficulties and joys of taking the driver's seat of your own destiny. -- Inside jacket flap.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Biography B Sharif Sh Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 320.08209 Sharif Sh Checked out 05/11/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 320.08209 Sharif Sh Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Biography B Sharif Sh Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Molokai Public Library Adult Biography B Sharif Sh Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 320.08209 Sharif Sh Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Nonfiction 320.08209 Sharif Sh Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
