  and helped others to defy, radical Islam's war against women.

  about the ravages of theocracy, about thoughtfulness, and about the
  ordeals of freedom-as well as a stirring account of the pleasures and
  deepening of consciousness that result from an encounter with great
  literature and with an inspired teacher.
