All she wanted to do was to go to school. But for a girl living under Taliban rule in the Swat Valley, Pakistan, going to school was provocative and dangerous. Standing up to the militants invited their wrath. After all, the Taliban would slaughter people on a daily basis and hang them in the square, or flog them in public for supposed offences. And yet Malala Yousafzai continued to demand that she and other girls be allowed an education. For that, she was shot in the head. Her remarkable recovery, her resilience and now her global activism is an extraordinary story. Here, for the first time, Malala takes us inside her world from her classroom campaign to her brush with death and on to her triumph.
