The best way to forget about one's own trouble is to read biographies of people who have thousands more hurdles to jump through in life.

Just finished the books- 'Letters to my daughters' and 'Prisioner of Tehran'. Two females from Muslim countries run by extremetists, become voices for the general population, particularly their own sex, who suffers so much
harrasement and injustice. A girl who carelessly expose a strand of her hair under her scarf can be taken to jail and be beaten. The victims of rape will get slashes, put in jail or be executed because she tempted the male.


If a man want a certain woman to be his wife, he does not even have to ask her. She would be kidnapped and forced to be converted to Islam. If a woman does not cook perfectly, she will be beaten by her husband because he loves her. Little girls are not supposed to go to school and on and on............let alone those who speak out against the regime.
