Author: Malala Yousafzai and Christina Lamb
Conflict -“Our men think earning money and ordering around others is where power lies. They don't think power is in the hands of the woman who takes care of everyone all day long, and gives birth to their children,” Page 116.

This shows great bravery because it takes a big person to go through head surgery at such a young age (15 years old). In my opinion, Malala Yousafzai had stellar bravery, commitment, and courage from day one. Going to school in the morning was such a challenge because of local terrorism, many punishments, live beatings, and radio threats. This is how Malala’s character developed through the book. Tragedy made her
