    Malala Yousafzai

    Edit: a couple corrections.

    She’s Pashtun (Pakistani), not arab, but she is a practicing Muslim. She was fighting against the Taliban’s ban on girls from education, which is not a feature of the rest of the muslim world. It’s a feature of extreme fundamentalism, of any religion, not of Islam.

      Did you read her book? I have it on my TBR list but it is a long list. I usually like to read fiction but try to do a nonfiction/memoir in about every 3-4 books (I read about 5/wk which varies d/t length).
