The autobiography of a Somalian nomad circumcised at 3 and sold in marriage at 13, who fled from Africa a while later and finally became an American supermodel and is now, at age 38, the UN spokeswoman against female genital mutilation (FGM).
Waris Dirie, born in Somalia in 1965, flees at 13 when she is sold into marriage as the mans fourth wife. She works as a maid at the Somalian embassy in London, and then at McDonalds, where she is discovered and becomes an international top model. In 1997 she speaks up against female genital mutilation, to which she herself had been subjected at age 3.
