WOW a true hero!

What makes her bad a*s, is that she stood up to the Taliban for women's educational rights. She was shot in the head by a member of the Taliban, SURVIVED, and continued to fight for women's right to education. She is unstoppable fierce and determined!

Too bad the pic wasn't taken at the point if impact

What makes her badass is, she was the first EVER woman to win a Nobel Prize, and the ONLY woman (to date) to win TWO nobel prizes

Might I add that she now fights in Yemen's movement against forced child marriage

This is what a strong Armenian woman looks like, not Kim Kartashian. JS

This photo reminds me of the statue in DC "raising of the flag on Iwo Jima"

She wrote it by hand

This goes to show you the risks people took in order to help someone.

She was one of the Freedom Riders (a group of civil rights activisits who rode through the US fighting against segregation stating it as unconstitutional), this photo was taken after she was arrested for sitting on a "whites only" bus.

This one needs a movie!

I love this lady

so FRICKIN badass

She was bad a*s because she represents every girl who fought to survive under Nazi. And every girl who fought for life was bad a*s.

And her disappearance is one of the biggest unsolved mysteries of all time.

True bravery.

I remember a long time ago, I had to be her for a history project! What an inspiring woman

still today i still can't understand why people didn't want woman to vote. it's inconceivable for my modern head

And now, in France, when women want to cover up, that's not allowed either. Women are always told what they can and can't wear, look at that.

and millions of lives have been saved sense.

University of Bologna is traditionally recognized as an oldest university. University of Al Quaraouiyine is older, but is not the first recognized university in the sense of the word that we know.

she is the first gymnast to score a perfect 10. not just the first women.

Amazing!

Very brave, not just as a woman but also not being an "average American woman"

And probably the original author of the theory of relativity.

Secret: she's having fun...

What a beautiful woman

❤👍🏻

Much respect!

and we're still fighting...

That proud look

She looks like Maggie Smith!

again not the first. just the first pease activist to be recognized as an activist.

Sad that it was a rare thing for parents to support their gay children. But good for her! More parents even today need to do this!

feeling proud about her as an Indian

Yeah! Long live LGBT. We were supposed to have received our right since nineties century. Quite similar with Alan Turring.

The things these brave women had to do just to prove we are all equal are astonishing... I can't think this is the best job there was but they look happy enough to earn their own money! WOW

It cost her a lot of energy and power, but it was all worth it!

Horrible! Imagine this to be your home...

She was a brave woman who stood up to the junta but she still needs to do more for the persecuted Muslims in her country.

I love her smile...so true
