Maria Toorpakai hails from Pakistan's violently oppressive northwest tribal region, where the idea of women playing sports is considered haram--un-Islamic, forbidden--and girls rarely leave their homes. But she did, passing as a boy in order to play the sports she loved, thus becoming a lightning rod of freedom in her country's fierce battle over women's rights. A DIFFERENT KIND OF DAUGHTER tell of Maria's harrowing journey to play the sport she knew was her destiny, first living as a boy and roaming the violent back alleys of the frontier city of Peshawar, rising to become the number one female squash player in Pakistan. For Maria, squash was more than liberation--it was salvation. But it was also a death sentence, thrusting her into the national spotlight and the crosshairs of the Taliban, who wanted Maria and her family dead. Maria knew her only chance of survival was to flee the country. Enter Jonathon Power, the first North American to earn the title of top squash player in the world, and the only person to heed Maria's plea for help. Recognizing her determination and talent, Jonathon invited Maria to train and compete internationally in Canada. After years of living on the run from the Taliban, Maria packed up and left the only place she had ever known to move halfway across the globe and pursue her dream. Now Maria is well on the way to becoming a world champion as she continues to be a voice for oppressed women everywhere"--|cProvided by publisher. 538 Requires Boundless App. 600 10 Toorpakai, Maria,|d1990- 600 17 Toorpakai, Maria,|d1990-|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01941657 610 20 Taliban. 610 27 Taliban.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00743547 650 0 Women squash players|zPakistan|vBiography. 650 0 Squash players|zPakistan|vBiography. 650 0 Passing (Identity)|zPakistan. 650 0 Escapes|zPakistan. 650 0 Women's rights|zPakistan. 650 0 Women|zPakistan|xSocial conditions. 650 0 Women athletes|zPakistan|xSocial conditions. 650 7 Escapes.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00915129 650 7 Passing (Identity)|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01054417 650 7 Social conditions.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01919811 650 7 Squash players.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01131096 650 7 Women athletes|xSocial conditions.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01177195 650 7 Women|xSocial conditions.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01176947 650 7 Women squash players.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01178576 650 7 Women's rights.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01178818 651 0 Pakistan|xSocial conditions. 651 7 Pakistan.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01210275 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Autobiographies.|2lcgft 655 7 Autobiographies.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01919894 655 7 Biography.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423686 710 2 Boundless (Digital media service) |0_aBoundless_(Digital_media_service) 856 40 |uhttps://naper.boundless.baker-taylor.com/ng/view/library /title/0017934463|zFound on Boundless
