520 _aDefiant Dreams: The Journey of an Afghan Girl Who Risked Everything for Education recounts the true story of Sola Mahfouz, who, under Taliban rule in Afghanistan, was denied schooling and confined to her home. Refusing to surrender to oppression, she secretly taught herself mathematics, English, and science, eventually earning the chance to study quantum computing in the United States. Co-authored with Malaina Kapoor, the book highlights the power of education, resilience, and the fight for women’s rights in the face of extreme adversity.
