We can not talk about Women's History month without acknowledging the importance of educating and empowering girls. Malala Yousafzai; is an author, and education activist. Her story is a compelling one. Malala became a target of the Taliban after she published several blog posts for the BBC about the treatment of women and girls in her native country, Pakistan. In 2012, while riding on a school bus, she was shot in the face by a member of the terrorist organization. Who had also put out a hit on her father as well. After overcoming that tragic event Malala still continued to be an advocate for education of women and girls around the world! She is also the author of i am Malala: The Girl Who Stood up for Education and was Shot by the Taliban. For
