 Prize-winner for her efforts to promote human rights, particularly those of 
 women, children, and political prisoners in Iran; the first Muslim woman 
 and the first Iranian to receive the Nobel Peace Prize  Event: As a lawyer 
 and Iran's first female judge, Shirin Ebadi has led the call for changes in
