Viac o knihe
Throughout her extraordinary career as a lawyer, writer, activist, and dissident, Shirin Ebadi has been a powerful voice for her native Iran, resonating well beyond its borders. As a dedicated human rights advocate and Nobel Peace Prize winner, she has instilled hope for a better future in both Iran and the world. In her memoir, Ebadi shares her eyewitness account of standing courageously at a pivotal moment in history. Known for defending women and children in politically sensitive cases, she reveals her public career alongside her private life, including her faith, experiences, and desire for a traditional life while being a rebellious voice in a repressive society. Ebadi reflects on her upbringing in a modest Tehran household, her education, and her rise as Iran's most accomplished female jurist in the mid-1970s. She articulates her initial hopes for the 1979 Islamic Revolution and her subsequent disillusionment with the hard-line clerics' rule. She recounts her demotion to clerk after being deemed unfit to serve as a judge and speaks out against the oppressive patriarchy that has stripped women of their rights and citizens of their freedoms. Despite her formidable presence, Ebadi is portrayed as an everywoman—a devoted daughter, wife, and mother—who balances her activism with family responsibilities, never leaving for a lecture or prison without preparing meals for her loved ones.
