Utdrag
In early 2009, when she was just 11 years old, Malala began blogging for the BBC about living under the Taliban´s threats to deny her an education.

To hide her identity, she used the name Gul Makai. She was revealed to be the BBC blogger in December of that year.

With a growing public platform, Malala continued to speak out about her right, and the right of all women, to an education.
