Author, activist, academic, original thinker, former MP, Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a polarizing figure who enrages conservatives and liberals alike for her fearless take on political Islam. She is the author of three renowned books, The Caged Virgin, Infidel, her global best-selling autobiography, and Nomad, the sequel. She is in high demand as a speaker - when she toured here in 2010 she appeared on wall to wall media. She is a natural for writer’s festival and for tours and as her topic continues to dominate the news she will continue to be in demand for years to come. She lives in the US with her husband, Niall Ferguson, and their son.
