BOOK REVIEW ON MALALA YOUSAFZAI

On 9^th October, 2012, a Pakistani girl was shot by a Taliban terrorist. Malala Yousafzai is an activist for girls’ rights and education. Her determination took her from the valleys of Swat to the halls of the United Nations. She was born in the Swat Valley in Pakistan where the birth of a girl was considered as a mark of disrespect and shame whereas the birth of a boy was celebrated with great happiness. She believed that education was important especially for girls who have creative and powerful minds and who were capable of bringing a change into the world if given a chance. Her determination made her win the Noble Peace Prize. She believed that ‘One teacher, One student, One pen can change the world.’ The book ‘Malala Yousafzai’ inspires us to believe that when the whole World is quiet even one voice can be powerful.
