Nobody can write about honoring women in history, praising their strength, endurance, and determination, without mentioning this young lady, Malala Yousafzai. All she wanted was an education and spoke out publicly about that. Some people thought she should be silenced for that. The cowardly and failed attempt to assassinate her pushed her onto the world stage and into a shining spotlight that shows no signs of dimming. A noble child who lived and grew up to become a noble woman.
