As Malala wrote in her most recent memoir, #FindingMyWay, “At fifteen years old, I hadn’t yet had the chance to figure out who I wanted to be when suddenly everyone was telling me who I was.

But also a wallflower, a punching bag, a paycheck.” Now, a little older, she is reintroducing herself on her own terms: not as an inspiring and infallible symbol, but as a young woman, figuring it out. Swipe to watch malala talk to our Books Editor charley.burlock at a recent conversation hosted by strandbookstore about why people were surprised to find out the youngest-ever winner of the Nobel Peace Prize struggled academically in college, how she felt let down by world leaders after her attack, and more.
