      abstract = {Anousheh Ansari tells of her childhood in Iran and her  family's exodus to America after the Islamic Revolution.  After settling down in Texas, Anousheh built a computer  technology firm from the ground up, which eventually  allowed her to achieve her childhood dream of spaceflight.  As the first-ever female commercial spaceflight  participant, her story became politicized, culminating in a  debate over whether she would be allowed to display both  the American and Iranian flags on the sleeve of her  spacesuit. Later, Anousheh started The Ansari Foundation, a  nonprofit which supports social entrepreneurship, and is  especially committed to ensuring the freedom of women  around the world and supporting female entrepreneurs.  Ultimately, this is the story of a woman who has become a  role model to people around the globe struggling to  overcome economic and cultural barriers, as well as those  dreamers who look upon the stars.--From publisher  description.},
