Not least her amazing recovery from horrific injuries to come through
all with the bonus of restored beauty which does matter.

I honestly can't think of anyone in my lifetime who is as worthy of our respect, admiration, and overwhelming awe at how she's overcome every horror she's been through, and come out of the other side as a shining star. You name it, she's got it... and in spades. She takes my breath away.

And yet, to my knowledge, only 3 past PMs had a PPE degree: Cameron, Heath and Wilson.
I think that Malala is more likely to go for a career in a field that will be for the greater good of the people. And that's certainly not a career in politics.

One of the very best examples of why the invasion of Afghanistan was not the failure so many like to portray it as.
There are many Malala's who have got an education they would never have.
Those who complain about our involvement ignore the many Malala's left behind to rot or maybe grow?

A bit too sweeping a statement for me, miserable old fake Muslim Taliban men seems more apposite.

I thought she was born and educated in Pakistan, finishing off her education in Edgbaston/Oxford?

She was shot by a Tehrik-i Taliban gunman.

Taliban's letter to Malala Yousafzai: this is why we tried to kill you
The rambling four-page letter, in patchy English, citing Bertrand Russell, Henry Kissinger and historian Thomas Macaulay, was released to media organisations in Pakistan.
In it, Rasheed – a former member of Pakistan's air force, who was among 300 prisoners to escape jail in April last year – advises Malala to return to Pakistan, join a female Islamic seminary and advocate the cause of Islam.
He admitted that the Taliban are "blowing up" schools, but justified the attacks on the grounds that the Pakistani army and the paramilitary Frontier Corps use schools as hideouts.
Hundreds of schools have been targeted in Pakistan's north-west: activists say some had been used by the military, but many attacks were motivated by the Taliban's opposition to girls' education.
The Taliban commander also justified recent attacks in Pakistan on health workers vaccinating children against polio by claiming the west was trying to sterilise Muslims.
Gordon Brown, now a UN special envoy on global education, said: "Nobody will believe a word the Taliban say about the right of girls like Malala to go to school until they stop burning down schools and stop massacring pupils."

I could have gone furthur but it is not the fault of the Taliban they are generally ignorant tribe of savages.
Malala has an educated enlightened father and family.
Afghani men flee to the West to escape the madness.

I’m aware she was was shot by Pakistani Taliban. Still struggling to see how our invasion of Afghanistan is relevant to her particular story. The TPP are still a force to be reckoned with. It could happen again to another Malala.

I recall watching an interview with Malala's father about 6 years ago. It was on a small Ontario publicly funded educational station, not your usual big media spin network. One of his greatest concerns, was what would happen when the global powers had fulfilled their own interests, and left Afghanistan to its own devices.
He stressed the importance of not leaving Afghanistan until they were 100% sure that it could defend itself from an inevitable Taliban incursion. That Afghans had suffered enough through the course of this long war, in which millions of Afghans have lost their lives. A return to Taliban rule would mean that it was all for naught. Once again, Afghans would have to live in fear and conflict. Freedoms gained would be freedoms lost.
It begs the question of what is better. To have known freedom and equality, and then have it taken away from you? Or never to have known it, and live as you always have? It sounds harsh, but does anyone believe that Afghans, many of whom are Taliban supporters, can ever take back their country on their own? This poor country has suffered dreadfully from foreign invasions throughout the years.
In my opinion, despite giving some females the same opportunity as males have to study and work, our presence in Afghanistan has not been for the greater good. In terms of lives lost, it has been devastating. And the hasty US withdrawal was unconscionable. Ziauddin Yousafzai's worst fears have come true. Afghanistan is now the same as it was on October 6, 2001, the day before attacks began.
