Each of the world-changing figures who stride across these pages-Joan of Arc, Susanna Wesley, Hannah More, Sister Maria of Paris, Corrie ten Boom, Rosa Parks, and Mother Teresa-is an exemplary model of true womanhood. Teenaged Joan of Arc followed Gods call and liberated her country, dying a heroic martyrs death.

And Rosa Parkss deep sense of justice and unshakable dignity and faith helped launch the twentieth-centurys greatest social movement.
