This research investigates the socio-cognitive mechanisms of the I Am Malala memoir. The theoretical preliminaries of the research center upon the conceptual metaphor theory that reflects the female image through a cognitive semantic connected to culture analysis. Male dominance is subjected to investigation through the writer's usage of conceptual metaphors in her memoir. The study showed a great cultural Eastern impact on Malala’s life and decisions. Despite the examination of male dominance, the research also acknowledges the positive role played by Malala's father in her educational journey. This suggests that while male dominance may be prevalent, supportive male figures can contribute to positive outcomes for women. Malala’s father was a great supporter during his daughter's educational journey. Overall, the abstract outlines a research study that seeks to explore the intricate interplay between cognitive processes, cultural influences, and gender dynamics within the memoir "I Am Malala," with a specific focus on the role of conceptual metaphors in shaping and reflecting these phenomena.
