I Am Malala

Do the fates of Malalai of Maiwand and Benazirr Bhutto foreshadow Malala's fate?

Many women Malala mentions in the book are targeted, killed or wounded as a result of speaking out. For example, Malala is named after Malalai of Maiwand, a folk hero who was killed by fire but inspired Afghan troops to victory. And Malala describes benazir Bhutto as a role model who inspired young women to speak out. (54)

In the case of Malalai of Maiwand, to say that being named after a folk hero is a bot of a stretch. Benazir Bhutto's assassination, however, was a precursor to Malala's shooting.
