Shirin Ebadi, 2003 Nobel Peace Prize-winner

As a lawyer and Iran's first female judge, Shirin Ebadi has led the call for changes in divorce and inheritance legislation and championed the rights of women, families, and children. Ms. Ebadi challenges the narrow interpretation of Islam (both from within and without) with a view that underscores the essential compatibility of Islamic teachings with democracy, human rights, and legal protection for women and children. She also challenges the West to discard misconceptions about Muslims and put into practice its democratic ideals in dealing with less powerful nations. Shirin Ebadi was the first Iranian citizen to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. She chronicles the Iranian reformist movement and her exceptional life in her memoir Iran Awakening: A Memoir of Revolution and Hope.
