EDUCATION EDUCATED BY TARA WESTOVER

EDUCATED BY TARA WESTOVER
Educated is a memoir by Tara Westover, who grew up in a survivalist Mormon family in the mountains of Idaho. She was home-schooled by her parents, who believed that public education was corrupt and that the government was trying to poison children. As a result, Westover had no formal education until she was 17 years old.

When Westover's older brother was accepted to college, she decided to try to get an education as well. She enrolled in Brigham Young University, where she excelled academically. After graduating from BYU, Westover was awarded a Gates Cambridge Scholarship to study at Trinity College, Cambridge. She later earned a PhD in history from Cambridge.

In Educated, Westover recounts her journey from her isolated childhood to her success in academia. She writes about the challenges she faced as a young woman trying to escape her family's beliefs and build a new life for herself. She also writes about the importance of education and the power of knowledge to transform lives.

Educated is a powerful and inspiring story of one woman's determination to overcome adversity and achieve her dreams. It is a reminder that education is the key to a better future, and that anyone can succeed if they are willing to work hard and never give up.

Here are some of the key themes of Educated:

The importance of education
The power of knowledge to transform lives
The challenges of growing up in a dysfunctional family
The importance of finding your own path in life

Educated is a well-written and engaging memoir that will stay with you long after you finish reading it. It is a must-read for anyone who has ever felt like an outsider or who has ever struggled to find their place in the world.
