Books by Malala Yousafzai

Malala Yousafzai was born in 1997 in the Swat Valley of Pakistan. She began speaking publicly about the Taliban's ban on girls' education as a child, and wrote anonymously for the BBC about life under Taliban rule in 2009. She survived an assassination attempt in 2012 and has since become a global advocate for girls' education through the Malala Fund, which she co-founded. In 2014 she became the youngest-ever recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. She studied at Oxford University and continues to lead the Malala Fund's campaigns in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and elsewhere.
