Summary
Toucan Faisal of Jordan is the first and only woman in the Jordanian parliament. A former television personality, she decided to go into government to rectify the abuses her investigative reports uncovered. Though publicly decried by the fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood, she refuses to be intimidated as she speaks out for human rights and democracy. There are constant threats against her life and for a time there was even a fatwa against her. But her convictions compel her to continue her crusade.
