 Thank anda Malala!
Thank you Malala!
Hi guys, I had just read Malala's auto-biography and it was heart-wrenching. Here are my thoughts and review on her auto-biography.

The Story

Like Anne Frank's diary, Malala tells us about her childhood, her parents and her relationship with them as well as her 2 younger brothers. She had an extraordinary relationship with them, despite that her country's condition and fundamentalist ideologies.
She also wrote about how the Talibans didn't want anything Western, like having a TV and radios in the house atau board games. Otherwise, they will storm in and wreck havoc in your house!

The Scariest Moment

Okay, the prologue is actually a flashback when she was nearly at death's door. It really scared me if I were in her position, in fact, I couldn't imagine that Malaysia (from where I am from) is a misogynist, fundamentalist and a country that's going backwards oleh using religion as an excuse!

Thank anda Malala!

So, I would like to thank Malala for her words of wisdom while membaca and I encourage anda all to read it! I didn't continue membaca it because it's very emotional, that it makes me want to cry my jantung out.
 So true!!
So true!!

Today when we think of being a princess we imagine a romantic adventure reminiscent of cinderella who lives happily ever after in a fantastical castle. The reality was that life for a woman was precarious at best; with intrigue, war and disease rife throughout the centuries. The prospects for a princess were no different, but sometimes these royal women proved to be lebih resourceful than the average disney heroine in their strength of will to survive the harshest obstacles. One of these princesses was Elizabeth Stuart.

Early Life:

Born into Scottish royalty, Elizabeth Stuart was the daughter...

Upon finishing Giles Tremlett's biography of Katherine of Aragon, I've come away with an even deeper respect for Henry VIII's first Queen.

In this hari and age, there has been so much written on the six wives of Henry VIII, and many lebih that declare Anne Boleyn as the greatest of them all, while the others have been neglected. Indeed, Tremlett's biography was the first since the early seventies to focus solely on Henry's first Queen. And it proved long overdue. Tremlett gives us the portrait of a woman who was not merely a matronly wife who defied a king; she was a strong willed and highly intelligent...

On 22 February 1540 a queen was crowned. She was Marie de Guise, mother of Mary queen of Scots, one of the most famous women in Scottish history. Sadly, Mary's failures eclipse the successes of her mother, a far better politician and leader in her own right. Qualities that were useful in everyday life but proved crucial in dealing with the Scottish nobility upon the death of her husband, King James V.

King James was an intelligent, if emotionally insecure, monarch who was loved oleh his people if not oleh his nobility. And after losing the battle of Solway Moss, he is berkata to have died of a broken...

On 14 July 1486, queen Margaret of Denmark died at Stirling Castle. oleh her side was her son James, Duke of Rothesay, the future King James IV of Scotland. One sumber claimed that on her death tempat tidur Margaret berkata to her son, 'I pray you, through your obedience as my son, to cinta and fear God, always doing good, because nothing achieved oleh violence, can endure.' If indeed Margaret did speak such words then they would prove tragically prophetic for within two years her son would depose his father, King James III of Scotland, dying in mysterious circumstances; twenty five years later James IV would...
