I don't have time to listen to all of it - what is it about her that is brave and inspiring?

From an interview on BBC World Service:

What have almost two decades of American intervention in Afghanistan achieved? HARDtalk’s Stephen Sackur speaks to Kimberley Motley - an American lawyer who went to Kabul in a training capacity and stayed to become a respected litigator fighting for the rights of the abused and the powerless. The death toll in the Afghan conflict far outstrips the losses in Syria and Yemen. But the grim statistics tell only a part of Afghanistan’s story. Does her experience give grounds for hope or despair?

I'd not heard of her before Desert Island Discs. Agree with Moonrise.

Little - there is a summary on the webpage. She went to Afghanistan to train lawyers there but realised she could directly help people. She takes on much pro bono work and has become educated in Sharia law. She helped free a young woman jailed after being raped.

I listened to this as I went into work later than usual- bloody hell, she was amazing. And great choice of music, too!
