Malala Feminist

In a year when several actresses also added interview disclaimers about not being feminists, Malala Yousafzai and Emma Watson explained very simply what the F-word really meant. Nobel Peace prize winner Malala was interviewed by the Harry Potter actress at a screening of docu-film He Named Me Malala

Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani teenage rights activist who last year won the Nobel Peace Prize, has told Hollywood actor Emma Watson that her speech to world leaders at the UN made her change her mind about not calling herself a feminist.

Malala said, "When I heard it the first time, I heard some negative responses and some positive ones. And I hesitated in saying 'am I a feminist or not?' And then after hearing your speech, when you said 'If not now, when? If not me, who?' I decided that there's nothing wrong by calling yourself a feminist."
