People can be she-roes and heroes in small ways--perhaps to only one other person--and also in larger ways, to many people. Malala Yousafzai is the second kind. It may seem obvious to point out what a she-ro Malala is--after all, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her advocacy for the education of all children. When she was fifteen years old, assailants shot her in the head to try and silence her voice--but she survived, recovered, and continues to use her voice to tell the world that all children are entitled to education.
She is extraordinary. She is a she-ro.
