I read a little of this on my long treck back to DC from San Antonio, Texas..........it is by an Arabic'American woman who grew up in the American South,,,,,,,,,,,she is of Palestian blood, and i think, if memory serves me right, born in Saudi Arabia...............who used her knowledge of both English and Arabic, and of both cultures to help women in Iraq...........




Barefoot in Baghdad

"Walk barefoot and the thorns will hurt you…" —Iraqi-Turkmen proverb
A riveting story of hope and despair, of elation and longing, Barefoot in Baghdad takes you to the front lines of a different kind of battle, where the unsung freedom fighters are strong, vibrant—and female.
An American aid worker of Arab descent, Manal Omar moves to Iraq to help as many women as she can
