The author doesn't know whether journalists felt it around the young Gandhi or Martin Luther King Jr., but around Mukhtar Mai he senses the presence of greatness. Mukhtar, who also goes by the name Mukhtaran Bibi, is the young peasant woman, she doesn't know exactly how old she is, who three years ago was gang-raped on order of a local tribal council. Instead of killing herself, as was expected of any self-respecting woman, she prosecuted her attackers, used compensation money to start schools, and started a nationwide revolution to empower women.
