These three women all have many things in common. All three of these women are working for the "greater good". They all live in the Middle East. They are all women. They work to help others by resisting their governments and doing what is right as opposed to what the corrupt governments make them do. Marjane does not support the new Iranian government after the revolution. As a consequence she had to flee her country and live in Paris to escape her government. Twakkul won a Nobel Peace prize and started the Arab Spring in her country. And Malala at such a young age has affected the whole world and turned the attention of millions on the Taliban and the world is realizing that they are wrong in what they do, like not letting girls get an education and shooting them in the head when they resist. The theme of these three women is working for the greater good and standing up for what is right, even when you might suffer severe consequences, like being forced out of your country or shot at just for attending school. I think that its very unfortunate when people in our country gripe about "not having enough rights" when they have no idea how people in other countries have to live. I think they should go live over there for a while and then come back and say we don't have enough rights in America. These three women are all working for the greater good and if more people would be like them, groups like the Taliban would not exist.
