Description

I Am Malala is the inspiring, true story of Malala Yousafzai — the young Pakistani girl who dared to stand up for her right to an education under Taliban rule. In a society where girls’ schooling was being systematically dismantled, Malala raised her voice, defying threats and danger.

On October 9, 2012, at just fifteen, Malala was shot in the head by a Taliban gunman while riding home from school. Miraculously surviving, her bravery sparked international outcry and solidarity. Her remarkable recovery led her from the Swat Valley to global stages like the United Nations, where she became a symbol for peaceful protest and the youngest Nobel Peace Prize laureate in history.

Co-written with journalist Christina Lamb, this memoir offers a deeply personal and moving account of Malala’s life, her family’s resilience, the impact of extremism, and the continuing fight for girls’ education worldwide.
