Gameela one of '100 Moms Changing the World'

Gameela was recently chosen as one of 100 moms who are changing the world by Babble.com. Here's what Babble had to say about Gameela:

Gameela Ismail stands at the forefront of Egyptian women fighting to create a new country in the wake of the world-shaking revolution that took place this past January. Ismail has long been a fearless, outspoken advocate for justice. She was forced out of her job as a TV presenter when her then-husband husband, Ayman Nour, became the first person to challenge Hosni Mubarak for the presidency in 2005. When Nour was imprisoned following his loss to Mubarak, Ismail and her children took to the streets, chanting, “Down, Down, Hosni Mubarak!” at a time when doing so could have cost them their lives. In 2008 government thugs set her husband’s party headquarters on fire — while she was inside. Ismail escaped, but was pressured into dropping charges when police told her she was the prime arson suspect. Since then, Ismail has evolved into a public symbol of the fight for democracy in Egypt. She ran for parliament in the 2010 elections and is planning to run again during the country’s first free elections this fall.
