Malala Yousafzai: Pakistani Activist for Female Education

By Elisa Peters

Book Overview

The remarkable Malala Yousafzai is one of the most widely admired young women living. This biography traces her story from her youth in Pakistan's Swat Valley through her current work advocating for the rights and education of young women with the Malala Fund. Readers will learn about her struggle to get an education while living under the control of the Taliban and admire her courage in speaking out even after an assassination attempt. While there are many worthy role models, Yousafzai's age and the fact that her heroism is both recent and ongoing make her especially relatable for young readers.
