Manal al-Sharif grew up in Mecca as a member of a fundamentalist family. And when she went to work as a computer security engineer, her eyes were opened to the sexist policies of her homeland. She joins us to talk about being a feminist in a patriarchy, which she writes about in her memoir, “Daring to Drive: A Saudi Woman’s Awakening” (Simon & Schuster).
