| Abstract
|
:
|
Throughout an extraordinary career as a lawyer, writer and political dissident, Shirin Ebadi has spoken out clearly and strongly for her native Iran. As a leading human rights activist and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, Ebadi has almost single handedly given both Iran and the world reason to hope for a better future. Best known as a lawyer who defends the vulnerable in cases that others refuse to touch, Ebadi recounts her public career and reveals her private self. She speaks of her faith her work and her experiences as a devoted daughter, wife and mother, who has braved imprisonment, assassination and her family's humiliation, all for the dream of a peaceful and just Iran. Written with modesty, passion and humanity, Iran Awakening is the inspiring memoir of a remarkable woman and her battle for the soul of a nation at the centre of Middle Eastern and global events.
