She has become a household name as a global campaigner for human rights and women’s education, and became the youngest-ever Nobel Prize laureate aged just 17.

Now she has turned her advocacy skills to take on Alan Rusbridger, the former Guardian editor, in her attempt to bring back parties at her Oxford University college, after they were banned by the governing body of Lady Margaret Hall, which Rusbridger chairs, in April.

The college bops were clamped down on after a student came dressed as Harvey Weinstein, the Hollywood producer accused of rape and sexual harassment.
