What is the name of the Arab girl that advocated for girls education on the Arab world? She was also blocked out by the media the second she started talking about socialism and the injustices that the capitalist system brings in.
Malala Yousafzai
Edit: a couple corrections.
She's Pashtun (Pakistani), not arab, but she is a practicing Muslim. She was fighting against the Taliban's ban on girls from education, which is not a feature of the rest of the muslim world. It's a feature of extreme fundamentalism, of any religion, not of Islam.
Thanks you.
Edit: adicional thanks for the further corrections.
Did you read her book? I have it on my TBR list but it is a long list. I usually like to read fiction but try to do a nonfiction/memoir in about every 3-4 books (I read about 5/wk which varies d/t length).
Indeed, first time I hear about this aspect of Malala Yousafzai's activism. Thank you, wow.
For context: https://socialistworker.org/2014/10/15/the-malala-you-wont-hear-about (Compare also this thread, where someone makes clear that her being involved with socialism is no misunderstanding.)
