Infidel

“I would not have put it this way in those days, but because I was born a woman, I could never become an adult. I would always be a minor, my decisions made for me. I would always be a unit in a vast beehive. I might have a decent life, but I would be dependent—always—on someone treating me well.
I knew that another kind of life was possible. I had read about it, and now I could see it, smell it in the air around me: the kind of life I had always wanted, with a real education, a real job, a real marriage. I wanted to make my own decisions. I wanted to become a person, an individual, with a life of my own.”
~Ayaan Hirsi Ali: Infidel

An eye-opening and insightful look into one woman’s journey- physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Her story does not require you to agree with every position she holds, but rather encourages you to look at the world through a different set of eyes and examine it in a new way.
