A quick and very good read, only a few activists stood out to me, Assata Shakur, Malalai Joya, and Ani Pachen. Very inspiring book, I look forward to diving into the knowledge realm of feminism, womens issues, as well as issues steaming from oppression.
only issue is the use of the word "transgendered" rather than "transgender" in the profile of sylvia rivera. otherwise an excellent resource & quick read/reference that everyone should have on hand.

Not just a book of stencils but also an interesting look into the lives of some fascinating women.
