Malala Yousafzai, 17, won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday along with the Indian children’s rights activist Kailash Satyarthi, 60, for “their struggle against the suppression of children and young people and for the right of all children to education.”

Yousafzai first caught the media’s attention at age 14, after she was shot in the head by a Taliban fighter for criticizing the organization’s tactics.

The young campaigner for women’s rights, who was favored to win the peace prize last year, memorably left Jon Stewart speechless during an interview on the Daily Show, a few days before the 2013 awards were announced.
