In June 2002, Mukhtar Mai, a Pakistani woman from the impoverished village of Meerwala, was gang-raped by a local clan known as the Mastoi — punishment for alleged misdeeds by her brother. This account details her brave fight back and her impact on feminism in Pakistan. She received compensation and her attackers were sentenced to death. Mai then opened a school for girls to prevent future suffering from illiteracy. This memoir describes her experience and how she became a symbol of hope for oppressed women worldwide.
