 WASHINGTON (AP) - Mystery surrounds Shaha Riza's personal life, by her design, yet two things are beyond doubt. She's smart, exceptionally so. And angry.
"Very angry," Paul Wolfowitz said of her recently. Wolfowitz lost his job as World Bank president Thursday over an ethical entanglement arising from his yearslong relationship with the former bank employee.
Riza, an Oxford-educated Arab Muslim feminist in her early 50s, has worked for years for democratic change in the Middle East and for sexual equality both in repressive societies and within the bank. She's done so most of that time without drawing enormous attention to herself.
