About Parry Aftab: Quick Overview
Parry started out on Wall Street, as a corporate takeover lawyer.

She was a returning student, and had to complete her four year degree before going on to law school. She managed to do this in less than two years, as class Valedictorian. With her two children in tow, she began law school, which had been her dream since she was six years old.

After spending five years on Wall Street, Parry left and eventually opened her own firm. When she realized that she didn't know how to do the kinds of things that suburban lawyers relied on, she formed a virtual law firm, gathering talent from all over the world and linking them together using the Internet.

One thing lead to another, and CNN called asking her to appear on camera to discuss free speech and the Internet in connection with the Communications Decency Act which was being reviewed by the Supreme Court. Parents from everywhere wrote and called her, asking for help on keeping their children safe online. Parry explained that she protected corporations online, not children. But her sister, who was AOL's online pediatrician, asked her to write a book for parents. When Parry refused (her writing in those days was devoted to cyber-privacy and technology in the workplace issues), her sister appealed to a higher authority -- their mother. Six months later, Parry's first book for parents was published. It became the bible on the subject. Her second on the same topic followed two years later, and was adapted for the UK, Singapore and Latin America.
