*I’m deeply ashamed to say that I read this something like a month ago and have been sitting on this review for awhile. The end of semester has hit me hard, and reading has been way easier than reviewing. So, you’ll be seeing a lot from me tonight…*
I remember hearing about a young teenager who was shot in the face by the Taliban, survived, and went on to become a global advocate for women’s education in countries oppressed by extremist religious regimes. It felt horrifying real and surreal all at once. How do you live fearlessly when your every moment may be measured and snuffed out altogether? How do you survive the fear that comes from defying religious/political oppression when you seek to improve your own life? These questions and more form the argument of Malala Yousafzai’s rather extraordinary life. You can find the full review on my blog, and there will be any other posts like it tonight.
