Summary

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 thirty-five profiles of remarkable figures show us what it means to take a stand and say no to injustice. This collection profiles men and women who resisted tyranny, fought the odds, and stood up to bullies that threatened to harm their communities.--Adapted from opage [2] of cover
