This was never an easy book to pick up, and I struggled with some of the history, but it is an engaging and compelling story.

I mean, what can you say. What an incredible woman. And a really beautifully, artfully written book. The politics leading up to her attempted assassination are laid out clearly, and are infused with her warmth and passion and humour.

Key takeaway quote "Sometimes I think it is easier to be a Twilight vampire than a girl in Swat" really dates her experiences as a teen girl in the early 2010s.

I’m ashamed to say that I really had no clue about Malala or what happened to her. I’ve obviously heard of her because she spoke at the US COVID graduation thing they did, but I didn’t know her story. She is so brave and smart. This was very interesting and inspiring. I learned so much. I highly recommend this!

Malalas Lebensgeschichte ist auch die Lebensgeschichte Pakistans und des Swat-Tals. Ich habe viel gelernt.
