My nation was founded at exactly midnight. It was soon after lunchtime when I almost passed away.
One girl spoke out after the Taliban seized control of Pakistan's Swat Valley. Malala Yousafzai battled for her right to an education and will not be silenced.
At fifteen, on Tuesday, October 9, 2012, she came dangerously close to paying the ultimate price. Few people thought she would live after being shot in the head at close range while taking the bus home from school.
Rather, Malala's incredible journey from a rural valley in northern Pakistan to the corridors of the United Nations in New York has been made possible by her remarkable recovery. At sixteen, she has won the Nobel Peace Prize at the youngest age ever and is now recognized worldwide as a symbol of nonviolent dissent.
The incredible story of a family uprooted by international terrorism, the fight for girls' education, a father who supported and encouraged his daughter to write and go to school, and courageous parents who have a fierce love for their daughter in a society that values sons is told in I Am Malala.
