Book Description
Super-Girls of the Future: Girlhood and Agency in Contemporary Superhero Comics investigates girl superheroes published by DC and Marvel Comics in the first two decades of the twenty-first century, asking who the new-and-improved super-girls are and what potentials they hold for imagining girls as agents of change, in the genre as well as its socio-cultural context. As super-girls have grown increasingly numerous and diverse since the turn of the millennium, they provide an opportunity for reconsidering representations of gender and power in the superhero genre. This book offers the term agentic embodiment as an analytical tool for critiquing the body politics of superhero comics, particularly concerning youth, femininity, whiteness, and violence. Grounded in comics studies and informed by feminist cultural studies, the book contributes a critical and hopeful perspective on the diversification of a genre often written off as irredeemably conservative and patriarchal. Super-Girls of the Future is a key title for students and scholars of comics studies, visual culture, US popular culture, and feminist criticism.

Book Description
The heroine's journey echoes throughout ancient legend. Each young woman combats her dark side and emerges stronger. This quest is also a staple of American comic books. Wonder Woman with semi-divine powers gives us a new female-centered creation story. Batgirl, Batwoman and Black Widow discover their enemy is the dark mother or shadow twin, with the savagery they've rejected in themselves. Supergirl similarly struggles but keeps harmony with her sister. From Jessica Jones and Catwoman to the new superwomen of cutting-edge webcomics, each heroine must go into the dark, to become not a warrior but a savior. Women like Captain Marvel and Storm sacrifice all to join the ranks of superheroes, while their feminine powers and dazzling costumes reflect the most ancient tales.

Book Description
From the depths of the Swat Valley in Pakistan, a young girl named Malala Yousafzai emerged as a beacon of hope and courage, her voice resonating with an unwavering belief in the transformative power of education. Her journey, one marked by resilience and unwavering determination, has etched her name indelibly in the annals of history, forever inspiring generations to come. Born on July 12, 1997, in Mingora, Pakistan, Malala was raised in a household that cherished education. Her father, Ziauddin Yousafzai, was a passionate educator who ran a school for girls, instilling in Malala a deep-rooted love for learning. From an early age, Malala displayed an insatiable curiosity, her mind brimming with questions and a yearning to explore the vast expanse of knowledge. As Malala grew, she witnessed firsthand the oppressive rule of the Taliban, an extremist group that sought to impose strict control over the Swat Valley. Their tyrannical regime brought forth a wave of restrictions, including the banning of girls' education. Malala's heart ached for her fellow young women, denied the fundamental right to learn and pursue their dreams. Undeterred by the Taliban's threats and intimidation, Malala refused to be silenced. At the tender age of 11, she began writing a blog for the BBC Urdu service, using the pseudonym "Gul Makai" to protect her identity. In her blog posts, Malala chronicled her daily life under Taliban rule, eloquently voicing her aspirations for a world where all girls had access to education. Malala's courage and eloquence captured the attention of the world, her blog becoming a powerful platform for advocating for girls' education. Her words resonated with millions, inspiring a movement that transcended borders and cultures. Despite the growing recognition, Malala remained steadfast in her pursuit of education, attending classes whenever it was safe to do so. On October 9, 2012, Malala's life took a dramatic turn. As she boarded a school bus with two of her friends, a masked gunman boarded the vehicle, demanding to know who was Malala. When she identified herself, the gunman fired three shots, one of which struck Malala in the head. Malala was rushed to a hospital in Peshawar, her fate hanging in the balance. The news of her shooting sent shockwaves through the world, sparking a global outcry against the Taliban's brutality and a renewed commitment to girls' education. Against all odds, Malala survived the assassination attempt, enduring multiple surgeries and undergoing extensive rehabilitation. Her unwavering spirit shone through as she vowed to continue her fight for the right of all girls to education. Malala's story became an emblem of resilience and determination, inspiring millions around the world. Her courage and unwavering belief in the power of education earned her widespread recognition, including the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize in 2014, making her the youngest Nobel laureate in history. Malala's journey is a testament to the transformative power of education and the indomitable spirit of a young woman who refused to be silenced. Her unwavering commitment to girls' education has sparked a global movement, empowering millions of young women to pursue their dreams and break the shackles of oppression.

Book Description
In this powerful book, Nobel Peace Prize winner and New York Times bestselling author Malala Yousafzai introduces the people behind the statistics and news stories about the millions of people displaced worldwide. After her father was murdered, María escaped in the middle of the night with her mother. Zaynab was out of school for two years as she fled war before landing in America. Her sister, Sabreen, survived a harrowing journey to Italy. Ajida escaped horrific violence, but then found herself battling the elements to keep her family safe. Malala's experiences visiting refugee camps caused her to reconsider her own displacement — first as an Internally Displaced Person when she was a young child in Pakistan, and then as an international activist who could travel anywhere except to the home she loved. In We Are Displaced, Malala not only explores her own story, but she also shares the personal stories of some of the incredible girls she has met on her journeys — girls who have lost their community, relatives, and often the only world they've ever known. In a time of immigration crises, war, and border conflicts, We Are Displaced is an important reminder from one of the world's most prominent young activists that every single one of the 68.5 million currently displaced is a person — often a young person — with hopes and dreams. "A stirring and timely book." —New York Times
