Happy Birthday, Malala! Another year wiser, braver, and still making the rest of us look like slackers. From inspiring millions with your fearless advocacy for education to becoming the youngest Nobel laureate ever—seriously, leave some achievements for the rest of us—you've shown that courage truly has no age limit.Recently, your continued efforts in championing women's rights globally remind us all that superheroes don't always wear capes; sometimes they carry books and microphones instead. May this birthday bring you as much joy as you've brought hope to countless girls worldwide—and perhaps a day off from changing the world (but we doubt it!).
