Manal al-Sharif

Manal al-Sharif took a major stand for women last year when she defied the female driving ban in Saudi Arabia by posting a YouTube video of herself driving through the streets of her country. Her courageous act and subsequent jail time sparked a movement that has encouraged Saudi Arabian women to get behind the driver's seat.
