While certainly not the first account of a female body being negotiated for honor in a family, this time the survivor had bravely chosen to fight back. In doing so, Mai single-handedly changed the feminist movement in Pakistan, one of the world's most adverse climates for women. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e By July 2002, the Pakistani government awarded her the equivalent of 8,500 U.S. dollars in compensation money and sentenced her attackers to death -- and Mukhtar Mai went on to open a school for girls so that future generations would not suffer, as she had, from illiteracy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In this rousing account, Mai describes her experience and how she has since become an agent for change and a beacon of hope for oppressed women around the world. Timely and topical, \u003ci\u003eIn the Name of Honor\u003c\/i\u003e is the remarkable and inspirational memoir of a woman who fought and triumphed against exceptional odds.","brand":"Atria Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48833610481869,"sku":"9781416532293","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/1529\/9533\/files\/imageloader_7d9af631-cb65-424a-a97e-29801fec8b68.jpg?v=1790889955","url":"https:\/\/booksatmidnight.com\/products\/in-the-name-of-honor","provider":"Books At Midnight","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
