I Am Malala by Christina Lamb and Malala Yousafzi Book Review — Oyewole Tiwatope
The book centers on a young woman named Malala who decided to fight for women’s right to education when this fundamental right was taken away by the Taliban.
Malala’s story emphasizes the immense value of education. Looking deeper, it challenged me to examine the role of education, its purpose, and function within a society. Withholding education from certain groups within a society hinders progress, threatens peace, and perpetuates poverty. These principles also apply to Western cultures where education is the starting point for eliminating poverty, reducing crime, and violence in impoverished neighborhoods.
I admire her selflessness, courage, dedication, and openness to education, especially for women.
