I'm about halfway through Ayaan Hirsi Ali's most recent book, Nomad. It's a sad tale. For reasons which are not entirely clear, she was able to escape that culture and adopt a way of life independent of oppressive religion. The rest of her family suffered terribly within the cultural constraints that Ali escaped.
Maybe the second half of the book will provide some optimism but it seems like it is a very steep uphill slog against our male dominant chimpanzee heritage to modern cultures of freedom.
