Malala also appeared on last year's most influential list, but we can't think of another name that is more deserving of further recognition. This Pakistani teen's life was changed forever when she was shot in the head by the Taliban last year -- all because she wanted to go to school. Instead of backing down, the now-16 year-old has become an international crusader of education rights for girls. In addition to giving a speech on Malala Day at the United Nations earlier this year, she has been honored as a Nobel Peace Prize nominee and Pakistan's' first National Peace Prize winner.
