Malala Yousafzai is a Pakistani social activist and the world’s youngest recipient of the Nobel Prize. Born in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan, Malala was inspired as a child by her father’s humanitarian deeds and philosophy. When she was in 7th grade, Malala started writing a blog, using a pseudonym, for the global broadcasting giant BBC, describing life under the Talibani militant occupation of her hometown and the surrounding Swat valley. Subsequently, The New York Times picked up on the story and made a documentary about her life. The documentary put her in the spotlight as the media started to cover her as a voice of peace and reason. In October 2012, as she was returning home in a school bus, Malala and 2 other girls were shot at by a Talibani militant. The assassination attempt was, supposedly, retaliation against her activism. Malala was hit in the head and remained in critical condition for a while.

As her condition gradually improved, she was transferred to the UK for further medical care. This dastardly attack on a teenager sparked international outrage against militancy in the region. Malala received an overwhelming outpouring of support from numerous governments, human rights organizations, and feminist groups. After recovering from her critical injuries, Malala became a vocal activist for the right to education, especially for girls. She based herself in the city of Birmingham and founded the Malala Fund, a non-profit organization that aims to help every girl under the age of 12, receive a formal education. Her advocacy has found several backers around the world and her slogan ‘books, not bullets’ has turned the idea of ‘education for all’ into a global movement. In 2017, She became the youngest ever United Nations ‘Messenger of Peace’.

The Diana Prince/Wonder Woman character is also called the Amazing Amazon, the Spirit of Truth, Themyscira’s Champion, and the Goddess of Love and War. Wonder Woman was an instant hit with readers and for the last 76 years, the character has been the world’s most prominent DC comic book female superhero.

Lynda Carter Career

Lynda Carter’s acting career took off when she landed the starring role on Wonder Woman as the title character and her secret identity, Diana Prince. The savings Lynda Carter had set aside from her days of touring on the road with her band to pursue acting in Los Angeles were almost exhausted, and Lynda Carter was close to returning to Arizona when Lynda Carter’s manager informed her that Joanna Cassidy had lost the role and Lynda Carter had the part of Wonder Woman. Lynda Carter’s earnest performance greatly endeared her to both fans and critics and as a result, Lynda Carter continues to be closely identified with Wonder Woman. The Wonder Woman series lasted for three seasons, which aired on ABC and later on CBS from 1975 to 1979. Lynda Carter’s performance, rooted in the character’s inherent goodness combined with a comic-accurate costume and a catchy theme song made for a depiction that was nothing less than iconic.
