When Aung San Suu Kyi was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991, she was unable to accept the prize from prison. The military dictatorship controlling her country, Burma, had placed her under house arrest for her efforts to establish a democratic government.Aung San Suu Kyi grew up as the daughter of a slain national leader, but did not dream that she herself would one day lead her people in their struggle for democracy and human rights. Despite threats and violent attacks against her, Aung San Suu Kyi has continued to teach nonviolence, following in the footsteps of such leaders as Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Her leadership, determination, and quiet courage have united a country and inspired the world.

This biography of Maíread Corrigan and Betty Williams, winners of the 1976 Nobel Peace Prize, proves that ordinary people, united in a common desire for peace, can transform their nation and their world.Born into hard-working families in the Catholic section of Belfast, Corrigan and Williams grew up amid the suspicion and bloodshed familiar to most residents of Northern Ireland. But when the violence that had torn their country apart for decades touched their own lives, these two "ordinary" women knew they had to fight for peace. The grassroots movement they led brought Catholics and Protestants together in nonviolent marches and demonstrations that drew tens of thousands of people and showed the world that Northern Ireland was yearning for peace.
