Few Americans covered as much ground as Thomas Wentworth Higginson. Born in 1823 to a family descended from Boston's Puritan founders, he attended Harvard, like all the men in his family, and prepared for the settled life of a minister. Instead, he rejected both privilege and convention, and embraced radical causes, attaching himself to nearly every major reform movement of the day, from women's rights to abolitionism. More than merely a fellow traveler, Higginson was a proponent of direct action.

United States, early 1800’s. On a Maryland plantation, a young child is cruelly separated from his mother, setting the stage for the dehumanizing conditions of slavery that would define his early life.

10 women social reformers who fought to bring change in India

Derek Black was raised to take over the White nationalist movement in the United States. Derek’s father, Don Black, was a former Grand Wizard in the Ku Klux Klan and started Stormfront, the internet’s first White supremacist website—Derek built the kids’ page—and David Duke was a mentor. Racist hatred, though often wrapped up in respectability and American history, was all Derek knew. It was their inheritance, their community, their identity. Then, while in college in 2013, Derek publicly renounced White nationalism and apologized for their actions and the suffering that they had caused.

In 1922, Charles Garland, a young idealist, rejected a million-dollar inheritance, opting instead to invest in a future where radical ideas like economic equality and social justice could flourish. Over the next two decades, the Garland Fund, though dwarfed by the charitable foundations of industrial titans like Carnegie and Rockefeller, would become a crucible for progressive thought. The men and women of the Garland Fund cooperated and they bickered, they competed and (at least once) formed romantic connections.

Ainda em 2009, Felipe Neto se tornou um fenômeno da internet no país. Seu conteúdo, agressivo mas bem-humorado, se direcionava inicialmente às tendências da época, mas logo se voltou também à política, em especial ao governo do Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT). No entanto, com o impeachment da ex-presidenta Dilma Rousseff, a crescente aproximação da extrema direita ao poder e o recrudescimento de discursos de ódio contra minorias, Felipe passou a questionar suas convicções.

In 1894, a remarkably self-possessed American woman, with no formal education to speak of, stood before a British court seeking damages for libel from the trustees of the British Museum. It was yet another stop along the unpredictable route that was Victoria Woodhull’s life. Born dirt-poor in an obscure Ohio settlement, Woodhull was the daughter of an illiterate mother entranced by the fad of Mesmerism—a therapeutic pseudoscience—and a swindler father whose cons exploited his two daughters.

When a thoughtless tweet by Zelda la Grange unleashed a storm, she was asked: ‘Have you learnt nothing from Nelson Mandela?’ This book is her answer. Here she draws out his lessons on humility, respect, honesty, how to truly listen and what to do if you realise you have made a grave mistake, a lesson she herself had to learn the hard way.

आइन्सटीन ने कहा था कि आगे आने वाली पीढ़ियों के लिए यह विश्वास करना मुश्किल होगा कि हाड़-माँस का ऐसा भी कोई शख़्स इस धरती पर कभी चला था. गाँधी अपने जीते-जी किंवदंति हो गये थे. पर यह बात विचित्र है कि भारत ने बस उनका नाम याद रखा, उनकी ज़िंदगी के संघर्ष, उनके मूल्यों, विचारों से वह खुद को लगातार दूर करत चला गया. आज इस बात की सख़्त ज़रूरत है कि गाँधी को फिर से तलाशा जाये. यह किताब उसी तलाश का और गाँधी के जीवन का एक संक्षिप्त, लेकिन क़रीबी लेखा-जोखा है.
