Title: Raufa Hassan al-Sharki
Passage: Al-Sharki was born and raised in Sana'a, a town in old Sanaa.  Al-Sharki's activism started early.  When she was twelve, she and seven of her friends walked to the house of the Prime Minister of Yemen, Abdullah al-Kurshumi.  Once there, they requested better books for their schools of the same quality as the ones given to boys' schools in Yemen.  Al-Kurshmi was impressed with their initiative and allowed them to attend school with boys, marking the first time co-education was permitted in Yemen.  Al-Sharki also began working in radio when she was twelve and this is when she changed her name from Amatalrauf to Raufa Hassan in order to disguise her identity.  She did this because while she had the support of her mother in her paid work at the radio, her father would not have supported her.  Later, when he found out, he relented and she kept her radio show.  While in high school, she was also part of the Yemeni Women's Association (YWA), until it was shut down by religious conservatives in 1973.  The YWA provided basic literacy, craft training and radio broadcast training.
