Call to Action: Why you Should Read This Book

I am Malala is a very important book for all of us to read, it shows the journey a young girl who stood to fight for girls education in her home. Since the beginning of time fighting for equal education has been a struggle; women were expected to always stay home, cook, clean, and take care of the babies. Social scientists say that if we want to end global poverty then we have to educate girls, especially when they are in their pre-teen years. They say that the community will positively change, per capital income will increase, infant mortality will go down, and the economy's growth rate will increase. Educated women will go on to educate their children and slowly the world will change. 
     Education is a right that everyone should have and the book, I am Malala proves that. You can't find this lesson any more evident than in this book. I am Malala should be read for its urgent message about the power of females that has yet to be tapped. Malala Yousafzai stands for the universal possibility of a little girl who became the daughter of an entire nation. Malala has a voice of purity but also the rigidity of the principled. Her faith and her duty to girls getting education is unquestionable.  Although Malala is honored around the globe for her eloquence, intelligence, and bravery Malala has been rejected in her homeland of Pakistan due to her beliefs.
      I am Malala is not only a cry for equal education rights but a touching tribute to Malala's father and his goal of being educated, educating others, and building a model school for all. Malala herself says that she doesn't hate the man who shot her, yet the amount of anger towards her in the country of Pakistan is unbelievable. There are so many stories like Malala’s, different topics but they still are fighting for something. There's only one difference though, they didn't survive. Malala’s fight is not only hers, it's ours now too.
