Society is socially formed around men. Men have been superior to women for many years. Men are stereotyped as breadwinners, and women are stereotyped as homemakers. However, today women are starting to make the change into the female dominance or female supremacy. Women around the world are fighting for the rights that they deserve for being human. One person at a time can help change women’s rights, which then can make true change in human rights. A woman who has done just that is Malala Yousafzai, a Pakistani schoolgirl who stood up to the Taliban and defended her right to an education. Malala’s speech at the United Nations states, “I raise up my voice -- not so I can shout but so that those without a voice can be heard... [Women] cannot succeed when half of us are held back” (Yousafzai). For instance, women are running for president, women are going to college to be lawyers and doctors (Embree, November 4, 2015).

This did not go for Malala and her family though, they did something that needed bravery and strength. Her father ran a girls school, and kept it going even through “rough times”. These “rough times” included the Taliban, Fazlullah, etc. It started off with the radio or ‘mullah,’ where a man named Fazlullah would share advice such as, “Stop going to movies. Stop dancing.
