IRB #2: I Am Malala

Millions of people around the world know the story of Malala Yousafzai, the girls' education activist who survived an assassination attempt by the Taliban. Last month with journalist Christina Lamb she published I Am Malala, a memoir about her family, town, childhood, and activism. 

Because my last IRB was so logic-based, I wanted to read a memoir this time. In my research, I came across Malala's memoir, which reminded me of a comic strip I saw a few months ago. I'm not interested in most current events but the illustration made me want to know more. I hope that reading this book will help me better comprehend the issue and give me some unpredictable insight into Malala as a person and activist.
