500    A gripping memoir about a young woman from Saudi Arabia 
       who becomes the accidental leader of a wildly subversive 
       movement to put women behind the steering wheel 
520    Manal al-Sharif was born in Mecca in 1979, the year 
       fundamentalism took hold in the Saudi kingdom. In her 
       adolescence, she was a religious radical, burning her 
       brother's CDs in the oven because music was haram: 
       forbidden by Islamic law. By her twenties, she had become 
       a computer engineer, working in a desert compound that 
       resembled suburban America. That's when the Saudi 
       kingdom's contradictions became too much to bear: she was 
       labelled a slut for chatting with male colleagues, she was
       forbidden to go on business trips unless chaperoned by her
       teenage brother and while she kept a car in the garage, 
       she was forbidden from driving down city streets behind 
       the wheel. So she took to the streets in a one-woman 
       protest that gave birth to a movement, Women2Drive. When 
       she openly defied the ban on women driving, she was 
       imprisoned for nine days. A YouTube video featuring Manal 
       brought her international exposure. Daring to Drive offers
       a rare glimpse, from the inside, of women's lives in 
       modern Saudi Arabia. It is a remarkable exploration of 
       resilience and a celebration of female solidarity
