Before Malala Yousafzai (1997-) became the youngest Nobel Prize laureate, she was just a girl fighting for her education in Pakistan. When Malala was growing up, her father encouraged her to be politically active and speak out about her educational rights. When she did, she was shot by a member of the Taliban and the story received worldwide media coverage. Protests and petitions from around the world helped to pass an educational-rights bill in Pakistan, and Malala used this platform to continue her activism and fight for women's rights. Inspiring and moving, Malala Yousafzai tells the story of one girl's bravery in her fight for equal rights. It includes a timeline, a glossary, and an index.
