Malala Yousafzai - the Nobel Laureate and education activist took to Instagram on Monday to share her book recommendations for Women's History Month.
The post featured a carousel of images capturing Malala browsing a bookstore reading My Beautiful Sisters and Frankenstein, holding Defiant Dreams, and showcasing her books on a table.
'' DREAM COUNT '' BY Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie : '' I dropped by Daunt Books in London to pick up Dream Count, the new novel from Nigerian author :
Chimamanda Ndozi and Adichie,'' Malala wrote in her caption.
'' Adichie is a central figure in feminist literature and, while I have read many of her incredible essays, this is my first of her novels, I've just started reading it, so no spoilers please ! ''
'' FRANKENSTEIN '' : MALALA'S picks reflected a wide range of genres and themes, from classic literature to contemporary memoirs.
Among them was Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, a book she admitted she initially chose for its intriguing cover.
'' At the time I didn't know that she was one of the earliest science fiction writers, that her mother was a philosopher of women's rights, or that Shelley smuggled feminist themes into her popular novels,'' she noted.
'' Maybe we shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but I learned a lot when I took a chance on Frankenstein ! ''
