In this personal and exceptional memoir, Ziauddin Yousafzai, father of Malala, provides a poignant description of fatherhood and his ongoing struggle for equality, proving that there are many facets to feminism.
For more than twenty years, Ziauddin Yousafzai has been fighting for equality – first for Malala, his daughter – and then for all girls worldwide living in patriarchal societies. As a young man in Pakistan, he rebelled against inequality and vowed that Malala would have access to education, something typically reserved for boys. He founded a school where Malala could attend.
In 2012, Malala was shot for defending her education at her father's school, and Ziauddin nearly lost the person for whom he began his fight for equality. "Let Her Fly" is Ziauddin's journey from a child with a speech impediment growing up in a small village to becoming an activist for equality and the father of the youngest Peace Prize laureate.
Through personal stories of his close relationships, the book explores the concept of love, courage, and fighting for what is right. This significant work shows why we all must continue to fight for the rights of girls and women everywhere.
