Long Answer

1. Fazlullah says that women must remain hidden, per the Quran; however, Malala knows that the Quran itself never says anywhere that women should not go outside. (Chapters 9-11)

2. On the one hand, in this section the Taliban uses words to manipulate reality; they say they did not shoot Malala. On the other hand, Malala’s speech at the UN is a powerful motivating force; she receives a standing ovation from the audience. (Chapter 21-Epilogue)
