Malala steals the show at Glamour magazine awards

There was a flamboyant pop star, a veteran singer, a TV star, some supermodels, and one of the world’s most powerful philanthropists. Even a former secretary of state who may soon be running for president.

But of all the prominent women who appeared on stage at the Glamour Women of the Year awards in New York, nobody received more acclaim and adoration than a teenager who was unheard of little more than a year ago — 16-year-old Pakistani education activist Malala Yousafzai.
