About this ebook

*Winner of the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize*

In 2009 Malala Yousafzai began writing a blog on BBC Urdu about life in the Swat Valley as the Taliban gained control, at times banning girls from attending school. When her identity was discovered, Malala began to appear in both Pakistani and international media, advocating the freedom to pursue education for all. In October 2012, gunmen boarded Malala's school bus and shot her in the face, a bullet passing through her head and into her shoulder. Remarkably, Malala survived the shooting.

At a very young age, Malala Yousafzai has become a worldwide symbol of courage and hope. Her shooting has sparked a wave of solidarity across Pakistan, not to mention globally, for the right to education, freedom from terror and female emancipation.

Malala, the Brave and Beautiful! The riveting story of this brave girl is sure to give a sense of admiration to this extraordinary life. A young girl, who always wanted to get educated, no matter what happens, and has always been at the forefront of girls education, is indeed an inspiration to many out there, who still reels in the dogmatic ripples of poverty, illiteracy and orthodox beliefs. This story is not unbelievable. It is the story of a common teenage girl who stood up for education. And she believed in her. And she did it.

This is good but Malala is a hypocrite who blame Hindus for problems in India but can't blame her own community for most terrorist attack. Her alone community is responsible for 90% world's problem. She don't lecture her own country for decreasing of minorities like Hindu,Sikh and Christian. She only play victim card all the time.
