Malala Yousafzai was just fifteen years old when she was shot in the head at point-blank range for daring to speak out against the Taliban and fight for her right to an education. In an instant, she became the most famous teenager in the world. Millions of people knew her name, but in the years that followed her shooting - as she became a Nobel laureate, a bestselling author, an Oxford graduate, a wife - she began to feel less and less sure that she really knew herself.

Buckling under the weight of all her different identities (heroic schoolgirl, reckless college kid, good Pashtun daughter, overachieving academic, global activist icon), Malala realised she needed to figure out who it was she really wanted to be. That journey to self-discovery is the story of this book.

Malala Yousafzai is an education activist, the youngest-ever Nobel laureate, a best-selling author and award-winning film producer. She was born in Mingora, Pakistan and graduated from Oxford University in 2020.
