Jane Addams was a tireless campaigner for social justice in late 19th and early 20th century America, championing the causes of women's rights, racial equality and the needs of poor urban immigrants. Later vilified for her pacifism during the Great War, Addams was at one time the most honoured woman in the US.

This book of biographical profiles and stories chronicles the astonishing courage and imagination of young people.

More than half of the profiles are of women, one fourth are of African-Americans, and Native Americans, Asian Americans, Latino and Chicano Americans are also represented.
