BIOGRAPHY

Educated by Tara Westover

Tara Westover grew up preparing for the End of Days. With no birth certificate and no medical records, she did not “officially” exist. As her family’s radicalism intensified, however, Tara knew she had to leave home. In doing so, she discovered both the transformative power of education and the price she had to pay for it.

A powerful memoir of courage, survival, and the drive to forge a better life.

I Am Malala by Malala Yousafzai

Down and Out in Paris and London by George Orwell As a young man struggling to find his voice as a writer, George Orwell left the comfort of home to live in the impoverished working districts of Paris and London. He would document both the chaos and boredom of poverty, the eccentric cast of characters he encountered, and the constant pains of hunger and discomfort. Part memoir, part social commentary, Down and Out is a fascinating glimpse into Orwell’s early years.

Raised in the Swat Valley in Pakistan, Malala was taught to stand up for her beliefs. When terrorists took control of her region and declared girls were forbidden from going to school, Malala fought for her right to an education. On 9 October 2012, she was shot on her way home from school. An inspiring memoir for everyone who believes in the power of change and the universal right to education.
