She becomes the youngest winner ever of this award and shares it with 60 year old Indian activist Kalaish Satyarthi, who like Yousafzai, has devoted his life to ensuring that women and young children have access to education.
Satyarthi was an engineer who in 1980 left his career to campaign against child labor.
The Nobel Committee got it right this time, and I couldn't be happier to see this young human rights warrior get this well deserved award.
Both she and Satyarthi will be in Oslo on December 10 to receive their awards.
