Wahida Amiri
Amiri didn’t learn how to read until she was 20 years old.  She took her exams while taking care of her home.  She took them over and over until she finally passed.  Finally, she was welcomed into a university where she studied law.  Amiri discovered the English author Virginia Woolf and finally realized she held power in her voice.  When the Taliban took power again in Afghanistan, Amiri lost her job.
