 Malala Yousafzai was born on July 12, 1997, in Mingora, Pakistan. As a young girl, she 
demanded that girls should be allowed to receive an education, which resulted in the Taliban issuing 
a death threat against her.
 After the Taliban began attacking girls’ schools in Swat, Malala gave a speech whose title 
 was, “How dare the Taliban take away my basic right to education?” In early 
 2009, Yousafzai began blogging for the BBC about living under the Taliban’s 
 threats to deny her an education. Yousafzai continued to speak out about her 
 right, and the right of all women, to an education.
 She was shot in the head by a Taliban gunman in 2012, but survived. 
 The shooting resulted in a massive support for Yousafzai, which continued 
 during her recovery. She gave a speech at the United Nations on her 16th 
 birthday, in 2013. She has also written an autobiography “I Am Malala: The 
 Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban”, which was 
 released in October 2013.
 At age 17, she became the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. In congratulating 
Yousafzai, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon described her as “a brave and gentle advocate of 
peace who through the simple act of going to school became a global teacher”.
 For her 18th birthday on July 12, 2015, the young activist opened a school for Syrian refugee 
girls in Lebanon. Its expenses were covered by the Malala Fund, and the school was designed to 
admit nearly 200 girls from the ages of 14 to 18. “Today on my first day as an adult, on behalf of the 3. inspiration (n) _____ C. to respect or admire (someone)

 A pioneer leader for women’s rights, Susan Anthony became one of the 
 leading women reformers of the 19th century. In Rochester, New York, she 
 began her first public crusade on behalf of temperance, the habit of not drinking 
 alcohol. The temperance movement dealt with the abuses of women and 
 children who suffered from alcoholic husbands. Also, she worked tirelessly 
 against slavery and for women’s rights. Anthony helped write the history of 
 woman suffrage.
 At the time Anthony lived, women did not have the right to vote. Because 
she voted in the 1872 election, a US official arrested Anthony. She hoped to prove that women had 
the legal right to vote under the provisions of the 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution. At 
her trial, a hostile federal judge found her guilty and fined her $100, which she refused to pay.
 Anthony did not work alone. She worked with reformers of women’s rights such as Elizabeth 
Cady Stanton and Amelia Bloomer. Susan worked for the American Anti-Slavery Society with 
Frederick Douglas, a fugitive slave and black abolitionist.
 On July 2nd 1979, the US Mint honored her by issuing the Susan Anthony dollar coin. Although 
Anthony did not live to see the fruits of her efforts, the establishment of the 19th Amendment is 
indebted to her efforts, according to US historians.
