Don't know for sure--Is this one of the hijacked Wiki emails?
Anyway--it shows Hillary's compassion for this girl. She has worked to better the lives of women and children around the world.

Yemen's youngest divorcee says father has squandered cash from her book
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/mar/12/child-bride-father-cash-spend
The royalties from I Am Nujood, Age 10 and Divorced were supposed to pay for the girl's schooling and allow her to follow her ambition to become a lawyer. Instead, Nujood says, the money has been squandered by her father who has now sold her younger sister to a man twice her age.
"My father has spent all the money on getting married twice again," she says, fidgeting nervously, her fingers stained with henna.
Now 15, she still finds it difficult to talk about her marriage and ex-husband. "He now has four wives, 14 children and learnt nothing from my experience. He gives me between $20 [£13] and $30 a month for pocket money."
