Zainab Salbi is an Iraqi American humanitarian, author of several books (Two Worlds: Escape from Tyranny: Growing Up in the Shadow of Saddam), public speaker, and women’s rights activist. She is the founder and former executive director of the non-profit humanitarian organization Women for Women International.

Zainab has been consistently identified as one of the women impacting the world. People Magazine named her as one of the “25 Women Changing the World”. She was also a guest of Oprah Winfrey at Super Soul Sunday.

Her life was impacted by her first-hand experience of war as she lived in Baghdad during the Iran-Iraq war, as well as fear and dictatorship due to her family's close relationship with Saddam Hussein and her father being the private pilot of Saddam. In 1990 Zainab was sent to the USA through an arranged marriage to an Iraqi American living in the US while she was 19 years old.
