Waris Dirie leads a double life -- by day, she is an international supermodel and human rights ambassador for the United Nations; by night, she dreams of the simplicity of life in her native Somalia and the family she was forced to leave behind. Desert Flower, her intimate and inspiring memoir, is a must-read for anyone who has ever wondered about the beauty of African life, the chaotic existence of a supermodel, or the joys of new motherhood. Waris was born into a traditional Somali family, desert nomads who engaged in such ancient and antiquated customs as genital mutilation and arranged marriage. At twelve, she fled an arranged marriage to an old man and traveled alone across the dangerous Somali desert to Mogadishu -- the first leg of an emotional journey that would take her to London as a house servant, around the world as a fashion model, and eventually to America, where she would find peace in motherhood and humanitarian work for the U.N. Today, as Special Ambassador for the U.N., she travels the world speaking out against the barbaric practice of female genital mutilation, promoting women's reproductive rights, and educating people about the Africa she fled -- but still deeply loves. Desert Flower will be published simultaneously in eleven languages throughout the world and is currently being produced as a feature film by Rocket Pictures UK.

评分华莉丝.迪里是谁? 她是是第一个登上著名时尚杂志《VOGUE》的黑人模特。 她是第一个公开揭露割礼的女性,她当选福布斯30位全球女性典范之一。 她受聘于联合国,出任联合国反割礼大使。 首先,我们来普及割礼是个什么鬼? 女性割礼,更恰当地称为女性性器官切割。在割礼中,女...
评分因为喜欢《沙漠之花》这部电影,便找了同名书来看,没想到书比电影更好看。 电影着重于“割礼”,书的内容比较具体,详细的述说了华莉丝.迪里在不同时期的生活状态。因看过电影的缘故,我的注意力没有集中在“割礼”上。 读完,如鲠在喉。好些片段让人揪心。比如:华莉丝通过拍...
