一些了不起的女人这个星期做了一些令人惊奇的事情。而可悲的是，据说关于这个星期做一些惊人的妇女以及一些可怕的事情。

There are many rights which, as Americans, we take for granted. As an American woman, that list is even longer. And this fact was sadly and cruelly reminded to us this week with the death of Samira Salih al-Nuaimi. A human rights lawyer in Iraq, Samira was removed from her home, in front of her husband and small children, by a group of ISIS members. She was charged with “abandoning Islam” after posting messages critical of ISIS on Facebook, and summarily found guilty. Judge, jury and executioner… After being tortured for 5 days, Samira was publicly executed for speaking out for others . (Source)

Imagine… you’ve spent 7 years training for the job of a lifetime. You’ve earned a 6-month spot on the International Space Station. And to top it off, you’re the first woman from your country EVER selected to go. How amazing! And one of the first questions asked of you at the prelaunch press conference? “So, what are you going… what are you expecting from that flight? Are you going to take make-up with you? … Can you tell me more about your, maybe, everyday life on the Station? How you see, for example, your hair. How are you planning to do your hair?” Stupid questions, aside, Yelena Serova and her colleagues docked at the International Space Station this morning. Off to a great start. (Source)

Midweek, we saw a coalition of countries including the United States carry out a series of bombings and missile strikes against ISIS strongholds in Syria and Iraq. One of the countries, the Islamic nation of the United Arab Emirates, positioned Major Mariam al-Mansouri as an operational lead.
