I've just finished reading "Burned Alive: A Victim of the Law of Men," by Souad, an incredibly brave Palestinian woman who survived an attempted honor killing by her own family. 6,000 Muslim women are put to death in honor killings by their families each year.

The book should be read by anyone who wants or needs to understand Palestinian and Muslim societies and the precarious roles of women in those societies.

Souad's story from the Telegraph.
