Saudi activist says driving is the ultimate emancipation

In 2011, Manal al-Sharif decided to drive. But for women in Saudi Arabia, what seems like a normal act of daily life is anything but. Jailed for nine days, her case sparked international outcry. Jeffrey Brown sits down with Sharif, an activist for women’s rights living outside her home country, to discuss her new book, “Daring to Drive.”
