I should have honor

a memoir of hope and pride in Pakistan
The author describes her upbringing in Pakistan where her father refused to give her as a child bride and instead insisted on her education. Recounts the author's pride in her culture that was shaken when her cousin was murdered by her uncle in an honor killing, and relates how the death inspired the author to start a Facebook campaign that went viral, and later as an adult, to create a foundation that empowers women in rural communities through education and employment.
