      On 16 October 2017, Daphne Caruana Galizia, a prominent Maltese journalist, was murdered by a bomb placed under her car, an act that shook Maltese society and politics. For over thirty years, she wielded her pen like a razor, fiercely advocating for democracy, which she defined not just as majority rule but as encompassing minority rights, checks and balances, rule of law, accountability, and good governance. Above all, she championed freedom of expression as the essential tool for scrutinizing authorities. Despite being demonized and facing relentless attacks, she remained unyielding until her tragic end, embodying the spirit of "Invicta," meaning "the unconquered woman." This book serves as a tribute to her significant contributions to democracy and journalism, featuring insights from a diverse group of local and international academics, journalists, and friends. Contributors include Marisa Attard, Giovanni Bonello, Steve Bonello, Godfrey Baldacchino, Rev. Joseph Borg, Andrew Borg Cardona, Mogens Blicher Bjerregård, Victor Calleja, Debbie Caruana Dingli, Petra Caruana Dingli, Kristina Chetcuti, Joseph Anthony Debono, Mikela Fenech Pace, Henry Frendo, Jonathan Freedland, Ranier Fsadni, Luke Harding, Douglas W. Kmiec, Godfrey Leone Ganado, Ġorġ Mallia, Caroline Muscat, Paul Sant Cassia, Kenneth Wain, and Jacques René Zammit. It is time to reflect on Daphne and her enduring legacy.
