24. I am Nujood: Age 10 and Divorced by Nujood Ali

This is a very brave girl from Yemen who was married off at age 10 to a 30 year old man! She bravely went to the Yemeni courts and go married. It reminds me of the Yemeni women I knew who were both married at 12.  This is a fast read and very powerful!
