- Manal al-Sharif was born in Mecca, Saudia Arabia, in 1979 and grew up poor in a religiously devout society. After earning a computer science degree, she was the first Saudi woman to work in information security in the kingdom and was hired by the Saudi-Aramco oil company. In 2011, she was imprisoned for driving a car, charged with "driving while female." The mother of two sons, Manal is now a leading women's rights activist. She has been lauded by the Oslo Freedom Forum, Foreign Policy, Time, and Forbes.
