Meet the young activist who stood up for her rights&;and changed millions of lives Before Malala Yousafzai (b. 1997) became the youngest Nobel Prize laureate, she was a girl fighting for her education in Pakistan. Growing up, Malala&;s 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, bibliography, glossary, and index.
