Infidel by Ayaan Hirsi Ali

Memoir
Not yet 40, Ayaan Hirsi Ali has already made an impact on discussion concerning the rights of Muslim emigrants in Western countries. Growing up in Somalia, Saudi Arabia and Kenya plagued by political unrest, financial insecurity and the restrictions of Muslim culture, Ayaan fled to the Netherlands where she was granted asylum and citizenship. Determined to make the most of these gifts, she sought a university education and became a member of Parliment. Her frank discussion of the plight of Muslim women has resulted in death threats.
