“Let us pick up our books and our pens, they are the most powerful weapons.” Malala Yousafzai’s autobiography is inspirational. This young lady values education. In Taliban occupied Pakistan, girls were forbidden to receive an education. Malala and her family continued to educate girls off and on at her father’s school under the oppressive occupation by the Taliban. Malala gave her voice to their cause through her anonymous blog. Yet one day, as she was returning from school, a member of the Taliban boarded her bus demanding to know, “Who is Malala?” Upon discovering which young lady on the bus was Malala, he shot her and several others. He shot Malala in the face. Miraculously, Malala survived. She faced several operations and many months of recovery, but now she continues to write and speak on behalf of education for all.
