About This Item
London: Virago, 2006. Paperback octavo, very good condition, pages faintly toned, spine lightly creased, minor edgewear corners. 172 pp. The Pakistani author Mukhtar Mai writes her story about her gang rape, punishment for an honour crime allegedly committed by her brother, an offence for which there was never any proof. A very moving and thought provoking story. An inspirational true story of a woman who still continues to fight against exceptional odds. Mai now runs the first ever school for girls, started with the money from the Pakistani government (now Bangladesh) in her historic settlement, and she is an eager pupil at the school herself.
