Touching, inspiring story of a man wanting to do good, and to empower those around him. Ziauddin started with a small change, that snowballed into a global movement. It's not very common to hear someone recount the ways they have grown, including their successes, failures, and flaws. It is compelling, honest account that was hard to put down. The burrita anecdote was my favorite; it played out the same way it would have in my family.

I love the way Ziauddin (just like Malala in "I Am Malala") tells stories and I enjoy learning more about the Pakistani culture. Ziauddin's fight against the patriarchy and sexism is done in an incredible way, everyone should read this and learn from him.

Absolutely fantastic-a short read yet immensely powerful and is an incredibly enlightening feminist perspective. The short memoir showcases the difficulties of Yousafzai's formative years being spent in a suffocating patriarchal household that served him to his benefit, and how this led to his fervent desire to keep striving for the education of girls.

Having followed Malala for a while now (and having had the privilege hear her speak and meet her at an event a couple of years ago), I was really interested to see what her father had to say and what his story entailed. It was insightful and refreshing to view things from his perspective, not only in terms of Malala and her growing up, but also his background and his views and relationships, especially with his family. I loved learning about all the things that Ziauddin has achieved which are sometimes overlooked - he's a great role model for Malala to have grown up with and I wish him all the best!
