I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban by Malala Yousafzai

challenging emotional hopeful informative inspiring medium-paced

4.5

It was a frightening and sobering look at what religious fundamentalism can lead to. It has a lot of cultural and historical background on Pakistan that gives context for what happened to her. Her voice shines through discussions of prime ministers, war, and natural disasters. It's a beautiful and important book, and it is so important in this global context of right wing fundamentalism.
