Malala Yousafzai (1997 – )is an education activist from Pakistan. When Malala was 11 years old, she began writing a blog for the BBC about what her life was like under the Taliban. As a result, she became famous around the world and the Taliban felt threatened by this. In 2012, the Taliban tried to kill her, but she survived a gun-shot wound and was flown to Queen Elizabeth II Hospital in Birmingham, where she made a full recovery.  In 2014, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. She was just 17 years old and the youngest person to win it.
