A REAL HEROINE
If you don't know who Ayaan Hirsi Ali is, you should. Originally from Somalia, she was sent to Europe (Germany, if I recall correctly) as an involuntary child bride. Solely through her own efforts, she escaped that fate, went to Holland, got an education and then became a member of the Dutch Parliament. She became a collaborator with Theo van Gogh in his artistic work to uncover the inhumane treatment true Islam dictates for women. van Gogh was murdered for his work, but Hirsi Ali carries on, and lives under a constant threat of death from the faithful for her troubles.
Here's an interview in English with Ayaan Hirsi Ali in a Danish magazine. I highly commend it to you.
