Before they were activists, they were just like you and me. From Frederick Douglass to Malala Yousafzai, Joan of Arc to John Lewis, Susan B. Anthony to Janet Mock—these remarkable figures show us what it means to take a stand and say no to injustice, even when it would be far easier to stay quiet.

Industry Reviews

"Most readers will find stories they haven't heard before in this volume and will discover new inspiration from the familiar. Despite their subjects' renown, they are presented so that their strength is inspiring rather than overwhelming. A resource to enrich the shelves of every home and library." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
