Besides the passionate work she and her family have done for children's and women's rights, the part that speaks to me the most is the incredible love and respect a father has for his daughter. Beautiful. -

I am convinced that Malala's mother in spite of the fact that she does not come to the fore front of this story has Always been the rock on which it was built. Even in patriacial socieities the strong woman can stand her grond inside a family especially if she has the support of a strong, balanced partner. I wonder what kind of mother the father had that she managed to form such a son! -

In response to Elizabeth Marriott, Malala's mother is seen and heard in the new documentary "He Named Me Malala." Malala also writes quite lovingly of her mother in her own book, I Am Malala. She is also learning to read and speak English now that the family is living in England. My impression is that she has been a quiet strength who stays out of the limelight. (I had the pleasure of writing a picture book biography of Malala - Malala Yousafzai: Warrior with Words, published by StarWalk Kids Media. -

Not just this man, but his wife and other children,, esp Malala herself, had the courage to buck the system. Though there are many unjust "systems" in our world, this story gives me hope that one of them will be fixed ... But only if we all stand up and support them. Thankyou thankyou to this whole incredible family. -

I am inspired by how Malala and her father are standing up for the education of girls and women. But I can't help but wonder why Malala's other is never herd from about this, what they are doing to free her from the female silencing of their culture. I wonder where her mother is every time I see or hear about Malala and her father. She is not just his daughter. -
