In this intimate and extraordinary memoir, Ziauddin Yousafzai, the
father of Malala, gives a moving account of fatherhood and his
lifelong fight for equality - proving there are many faces of
feminism. "Whenever anybody has asked me how Malala became who she
is, I have often used the phrase. 'Ask me not what I did but what I
did not do. I did not clip her wings'" For over twenty years,
Ziauddin Yousafzai has been fighting for equality - first for
Malala, his daughter - and then for all girls throughout the world
living in patriarchal societies. Taught as a young boy in Pakistan
to believe that he was inherently better than his sisters, Ziauddin
rebelled against inequality at a young age. And when he had a
daughter himself he vowed that Malala would have an education,
something usually only given to boys, and he founded a school that
Malala could attend. Then in 2012, Malala was shot for standing up
to the Taliban by continuing to go to her father's school, and
Ziauddin almost lost the very person for whom his fight for
equality began. Let Her Fly is Ziauddin's journey from a stammering
boy growing up in a tiny village high in the mountains of Pakistan,
through to being an activist for equality and the father of the
youngest ever recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, and now one of
the most influential and inspiring young women on the planet. Told
through intimate portraits of each of Ziauddin's closest
relationships - as a son to a traditional father; as a father to
Malala and her brothers, educated and growing up in the West; as a
husband to a wife finally learning to read and write; as a brother
to five sisters still living in the patriarchy - Let Her Fly looks
at what it means to love, to have courage and fight for what is
inherently right. Personal in its detail and universal in its
themes, this landmark book shows why we must all keep fighting for
the rights of girls and women everywhere.
