具体描述
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.

评分这部电影的色调是沉重的，在那个落后而饱经苦难的国家，匮乏的资源，落后的思想，毁人性的风俗。电影中时而有倒叙即回忆的镜头，最令人难以忍受那喷薄的情感应当是华莉丝自述自己被迫进行“割礼”，配合着镜头播放，场面感带来的实为震撼。女性割礼是非洲的陋习，割礼的目的之...
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...
评分之前看过电影，比较震惊。书的内容更纤细些，但我想说的不是华利斯迪里童年时为了食物、水源过着整日疲于奔跑的艰苦生活，不是割礼对非洲大多数女性残忍的毒害，也不是华利斯成为名模的尖酸成长历程。而是，书中从11章开始华利斯对神的称呼，从前十章中的安拉改成之后的上帝，...

评分轻飘飘的文笔浪费了好题材
评分the book show me the whole world of fashion, but that's not the point, it is Waris Dirie's life stories which consisted of dangers and struggles and finally she became stronger that touch me. Not only did she made life abundant and happy but she also helped a lot of other African women to get rid of the suffering of circumcision.
