## Bio

Born in 1997 to education activist Ziauddin Yousafzai in Swat, she was named after an Afghan folk heroine and began chronicling life under Taliban rule at 11, blogging for BBC Urdu under a pseudonym. A 2009 New York Times documentary raised her profile; by 2011 she'd won Pakistan's first National Youth Peace Prize and earned a nomination from Desmond Tutu for the International Children's Peace Prize. On 9 October 2012, a Taliban gunman boarded her school bus and shot her in the head - she was airlifted unconscious to Birmingham, where she recovered and never went home. From that hospital city she co-founded the Malala Fund with Shiza Shahid, co-wrote the bestseller I Am Malala in 2013, and shared the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize with India's Kailash Satyarthi. She finished secondary school at Edgbaston High, read Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Oxford, graduating in 2020, and returned in 2023 as Linacre College's youngest ever Honorary Fellow.
