*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 Yousafzai was only ten years old when the Taliban took control of her region. Raised in a once-peaceful area of Pakistan, Malala was taught to stand up for what she believes. And she nearly lost her life for the right to be educated: She was shot while riding the bus on her way home from school. Now Malala is an international symbol of peaceful protest and the youngest ever Nobel Peace Prize nominee.

Mi Historia
PREMIO NOBEL DE LA PAZ 2014. Malala Yousafzai sólo tenía diez años cuando los talibanes se apoderaron de su región. Decían que la música era pecado. Decían que las mujeres no debían ir al mercado. Decían que las niñas no debían ir al colegio. Malala creció en una pacífica región de Pakistán transformada por el terrorismo. Aprendió a defender sus convicciones y luchó por su derecho a la educación. El 9 de octubre de 2012 estuvo a punto de perder la vida por la causa: le dispararon a quemarropa en el autobús cuando volvía a casa del colegio. Nadie creía que fuera a sobrevivir. Se ha convertido en un símbolo inernacional de la protesta pacífica y es la nominada más joven de la historia para el Premio Nobel de la Paz. En esta nueva edición de sus memorias, que incluye numerosas fotos y otros materiales, escuchamos de primera mano la extraordinaria historia de una niña que, desde muy pequeña, sabía que quería cambiar el mundo... y lo hizo. La poderosa historia de Malala nos abre los ojos a otro mundo y nos impulsa a creer en la esperanza, la verdad, los milagros y la posibilidad de que una persona -una persona muy joven- puede inspirar el cambio en su comunidad y más allá.
