SingaporeReading this book felt like being offered the privilege of witnessing an extraordinary life of service and conviction. Zaibun Siraj's name should be in our collective consciousness for her contributions to the championing of women's rights and the legacy she has created for younger women to forge their paths and find their dreams. This journey is told in her own voice - bold, joyful and fearless - and unfolds decades of experience and labour towards a better and more equitable society. I certainly felt a little more emboldened and unshackled after reading it. A true inspirational tale from a living icon.
